NEW YORK — The Manhattan district attorney’s office made history last week by bringing the first-ever criminal case against a former U.S. president.
In the wake of the 34 felony charges unsealed Tuesday — which allege Donald Trump falsified business records to disguise paying porn star Stormy Daniels for her silence about an extramarital tryst in the days before the 2016 election — the former president went on the offensive, declaring the case has “NO MERIT.”
It’ll be up to these seven seasoned prosecutors with a combined 125 years of litigation experience — including taking down some of the most infamous fraudsters convicted in New York courtrooms — to prove Trump’s case does indeed have merit.
