特朗普将被起诉!预计下周二出庭
据《纽约时报》援引消息人士称,当地时间30日,美国曼哈顿大陪审团投票决定,就美国前总统特朗普涉嫌在2016年竞选期间向艳星斯托米·丹尼尔斯(Stormy Daniels)支付“封口费”(hush money)并伪造商业记录一事对其起诉。这将令特朗普成为美国历史上第一位面临刑事指控的前总统。

提出起诉的曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格的发言人表示,检察官办公室已联系特朗普的律师“协调他的自首”,以便根据起诉书对特朗普进行传讯。
报道称,起诉书可能在未来几天公布,检察官将要求特朗普下周二出庭,目前对特朗普的指控尚未公开。
Trump is expected to appear in court on Tuesday. The indictment has been filed under seal and will be announced in the coming days. The charges are not publicly known at this time.
对此,特朗普发布声明回应称,这是“历史上最高级别的政治迫害和选举干预”。

据美国有线电视新闻网报道,特朗普继续抨击民主党称,“我们国家历史上从未这样做过。民主党人在过去几十年里欺骗了(你们)无数次,包括监视我的竞选活动。但将我们的司法系统武器化来惩罚一个政治对手,而他恰好是一个美国总统,并且是目前领头的共和党总统候选人,这在以前从未发生过。”
“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a president of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.”

“我相信这种政治迫害会对乔·拜登产生严重的反效果。”特朗普接着将矛头对准美国现总统拜登,“美国人民清楚地意识到激进的左翼民主党人正在做什么。每个人都能看到。因此,我们的(MAGA)运动和我们团结而强大的党将首先击败阿尔文·布拉格(曼哈顿地区检察官),然后将击败乔·拜登,我们将把这些狡诈的民主党人赶出办公室,这样我们就能让美国再次伟大!”
“I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden,” the former president said. “The American people realize exactly what the radical left democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
报道称,在特朗普被起诉消息传出后,纽约警察局要求所有成员都需要做好部署准备,必须在分配的巡逻期间随时做好动员准备。

据此前报道,曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格召集了这个大陪审团,调查特朗普是否在2016年大选前向成人电影明星斯托米·丹尼尔斯支付13万美元的“封口费”。调查的重点是特朗普是否伪造了相关记录。丹尼尔斯此前指认特朗普与她有婚外情。

报道称,曼哈顿大陪审团每周一、三、四开会3天,但由于日程保密,外界无从得知审理进展。特朗普本人此前曾预测,他将于21日被起诉甚至逮捕,但这一情况并未发生。
据《纽约时报》报道,在纽约,伪造商业记录罪通常是一项轻罪指控。但如果检察官证明特朗普意图诈骗,包括意图实施、协助实施或隐瞒另一项罪行,则可能会被升级为重罪。
