Donald Trump is expected to surrender, days after he was accused of making hidden payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. The specific charges against Trump are not yet known because the indictment is not under seal, but records show he faces more than 30 counts. First US President to be criminally charged.
The news is bad for Donald Trump, who may be out of the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, with Trump leading in most polls. Prosecutors said they are working to coordinate the surrender, which could take place as early as next week. Trump, 76, said he was "completely innocent" and accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who led the investigation, of trying to influence Donald Trump's election chances.
Recent US opinion polls show Trump leading the Republican nomination. Politically, it may be difficult for Trump to win votes in the face of lies, but nothing can stop him from being elected president. Donald Trump can contest for the presidency in the 2024 election despite being indicted under US law. The US Constitution only requires three things in regards to being a citizen – being at least 35 years old and having been a US resident for at least 14 years.
In our conclusion, we can say that Donald Trump should leave his claim in the 2024 Presidential Election and give opportunity to another candidate of his party because he has been tainted by defamation. This decision will be fruitful for him and his party.
