Donald Trump's Case: The President's Sex Scandal Is A Good Thing

JAKARTA Asa Donald Trump has again run for President of the United States of the Republic in 2024 is in danger of being dashed after the New York Manhattan Court's jury charged him with committing a number of criminal acts.

Trump's indictment began in 2018 over a $130,000 case against porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 elections.

Trump, who was campaigning for the presidential election, reportedly deliberately gave the money so that Daniels would not reveal his illicit relationship to the public. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen then arranged the giving of money through a shell company by falsifying his business record.

"Falsifying business records is usually a minor offense under New York law, but it can be raised to a criminal act if it is committed to cover up other crimes," CNBC International wrote.

Another crime in question is to undermine the integrity of the 2016 presidential election and other election law violations. Of course also Trump's betrayal of his wife, Melania, who at that time had just given birth to their son, Barron.

It was from that case that a massive investigation into Trump's finances was carried out.

Cohen has served a sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2018 to tax evasion and breach of campaign funds in connection with the payment of bribes against Daniels.

Trump on April 4, 2023, also underwent an indictment against him at the Manhattan District Court. Trump admitted that he had replaced Cohen's money to Daniels, citing Reuters, but denied having had sexual relations with him.

"Not guilty," said Trump, who is 76 years old, delivering his defense.

Trump previously did not deny that the charges that ensnared him tended to lead to political affairs, among others in order to thwart his move to become a presidential candidate. He has repeatedly accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a democrat, of targeting him because of political hostility.

Some observers think it is quite easy to block Trump's current political steps. Fani Willis Regional Prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia is considering whether to file an indictment against him over the alleged destruction of the 2020 presidential election results won by Joe Biden.

Not to mention in Washington about the discovery of sensitive government documents at his residence, Mar-a-Lago, and allegations of fraud that have spread for more than a decade in Newyork that have been rolling since September 2022.

Although Trump has denied all of that, the public still believes there has been a major scandal against the 45th former United States President.

"No wonder people believe that it's not only the criminal court Trump will aim for, but it may also be the divorce court," The Mirror wrote on April 4, 2023.

As a wife, Melania is certainly devastated to hear the news. Despite living together in Mar-A-Lago, they reportedly had separate lives, only hanging out for dinner occasionally at his home in Palm Beach.

"Melania is no different from any woman. Her husband is accused of having an affair not only once but twice is an extraordinary thing," a source told The Mirror.

However, it seems Melania is still strong. She realized who Trump was and would continue to support her husband through these difficult times.

That's what he did. They are a family," wrote the British mass media.

Summersby wrote her love story with the President in a book called Past Forgetting: My Love Affairs with fire. Eisenhower.

John Total Kennedy, who is the 35th US President, also experienced it. The president of the US, who is said to be the most attractive, is known to have played a number of love scandals, ranging from school friends to staff at the White House.

The 36th US President, Lyndon Baines Johnson is also said to have committed a number of infidelitys. However, rumors about Johnson's affair were always accompanied by his wife, Lady Bird Johnson, who was married in 1934. The Oklahoman newspaper once submitted an article about Johnson having children out of marriage.

A few years later, Clinton was again hit by the issue of an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Reportedly, the affair took place for a year and a half before Monica was transferred to the Pentagon in April 1996.

Lewinsky's confession and a series of other evidence, including footage given by Tripp and a dress that was exposed to sperm, made Clinton unable to dodge.

The Judiciary Committee officially impeached Bill Clinton from his position as President of the United States in a trial on December 19, 1998.

Then, on February 12, 1999, the trial continued to the Senate level. Many members found Clinton not guilty. Finally, impeachment of the President could not be carried out. Bill Clinton remains as president until the end of his tenure.
