Former President Trump, who was indicted by a grand jury in New York, USA, departed his home in South Florida on a private plane on the 3rd. U.S. media reported that he will face a plea in a New York court on the 5th of Japan time.
Former President Trump drove from his home in South Florida to the airport around 3:4 a.m. on the 1th, Japan time, and then boarded a private plane and left for New York.
American media reported that Trump will stay at the "Trump Tower" in the center of Manhattan, New York, and face a plea in a New York state court on the 5th, Japan time.
Trump was indicted by a grand jury in the District of Manhattan, New York, on March 30.
While the indictment against former President Trump has not been released and the charges have not been revealed, New York prosecutors were investigating Trump's involvement in a 2016 hush money payment of $13,1 to a actress who claimed to have had an affair with Trump.
This is the first time in history that a former president has been prosecuted, and the Associated Press and others have reported that Trump's company, a former personal lawyer who was close to Trump, may have altered business records by listing it in the books as "attorney's fees" when Cohen, a former personal lawyer who was close to Trump, repaid Cohen for hush money paid to the actress. The Associated Press, citing information from people familiar with the matter, said Trump was charged with multiple crimes, including at least one felony, but did not report the nature of the felony.
CNN TV also reported that Trump has been charged with more than 30 crimes, including falsification of business records, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump has announced his candidacy for the presidential election to be held next year, and has shown a thorough contest for the indictment, calling it "the greatest political persecution in history and interference in the election."
