For the first time in US history, a criminal charge has been filed against an ex-president with a demand to “surrender to the authorities”
The 45th President of the United States has been charged by the prosecutor's office in New York. This allegation that Trump “withheld from the Americans the transfer of funds during the presidential campaign to explicit film actress Stormy Daniels” concerns this. Thus, for the entire history In the United States, this is the first time that a criminal charge has been brought against an ex-president.
Donald Trump himself commented on what was happening, calling it "incredible political persecution and clear election interference at the highest level."
Recall that Trump is going to compete for the presidency in 2024.
The charge against the former US president was brought by Manhattan Attorney Alvin Bragg based on the decision of a wide jury. Trump's lawyers have been informed that he "should surrender to the authorities." Thus, Trump is really going to be taken into custody.
Trump called the prosecutor "a person who does the dirty work for the incumbent head of state."

Joint statement by lawyers for the 45th President of the United States, Susan Necheles and Joseph Tacopina:
Meanwhile, American experts say that it is now extremely important for the Democratic Party that Trump is mired in litigation so that the investigation drags on. This would actually remove an inconvenient competitor from the election race, even if the court ultimately acquits Trump (after the election). Against this background, Trump's rating in the Republican Party continued to grow, already exceeding 51%.
