Former US President Donald Trump has been slapped with a slew of felony charges, amounting to 34 counts in total, as part of an indictment that has left many reeling. The unsealed document reveals a complex web of financial dealings and hush money payments that the Justice Department alleges were orchestrated by Trump himself.
According to sources, the indictment centers around Trump's alleged involvement in a scheme to pay $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence over an alleged affair with him. The payment was made through a non-profit organization called Mind Over Matter USA, which was allegedly used as a front to funnel the cash.
The statement of facts accompanying the indictment paints a damning picture of Trump's involvement in the scheme. It claims that Trump personally directed his lawyers to arrange for the hush money payment, which was then carried out by Donald Trump Jr., one of the President's sons. The document also alleges that Trump made repeated phone calls to his lawyer Rudy Giuliani in an attempt to facilitate the payment.
As the investigation into this case continues, it remains to be seen how Trump will navigate the complex landscape of federal law and respond to these allegations. With 34 felony counts hanging over his head, the former President is facing potentially severe consequences for his actions.

just can't believe this 
what's going on with this guy?! It seems like he's been caught red-handed 
by the authorities! The fact that he allegedly used a non-profit org to pay off some adult film star is just wild 
. And now he's got 34 felony counts against him? That's like, super serious 
. I mean, I get it, people make mistakes, but this is on a whole different level 
. And the fact that his own lawyer was involved in it? 
No good! Guess this is gonna be a long road for him... 
he's been dodgin questions & gettin away with shady stuff 4 years now and now hes gonna pay 4 it? the fact that hes got a whole team of lawyers to wriggle outta this is actually kinda laughable 
like, dude, u got 34 felony counts against u and ur best bet is tryin 2 spin it? meanwhile, ppl r losin their minds tryna defend him or downplay it 
i'm definitely team trump no more for me tho 
the fact that he used a non-profit org to funnel the cash is just disgusting. i feel bad for stormy daniels, she was already in a pretty vulnerable spot and then trump tries to pay her off to shut her up? no thanks! anyway, fingers crossed justice gets served here and trump actually has to face the consequences of his actions 
. It's crazy that it all came down to a payment of $130k. I mean, who thought paying someone off to keep quiet was a good idea? 
. The web of financial dealings and hush money payments that he allegedly orchestrated is a classic example of a quid pro quo scheme 
. It's telling that Trump would resort to using a non-profit organization like Mind Over Matter USA as a front to funnel the cash, essentially exploiting the system for his own gain 
.
. The fact that he allegedly used his son Donald Jr. to carry out the payment is particularly concerning, as it highlights a clear lack of accountability and a disregard for the law.
.
, he's been in some shady dealings before but this takes the cake - using a non-profit to funnel $130k to an adult film star? Mind blown 
. His team is going to have to get creative to spin this one...
. On one hand, it's great that the justice department is taking action and holding him accountable, but on the other hand... like, can't we just move on from all this drama now?
. And now it seems like the law is finally catching up with him, which is a major bummer for Trump fans everywhere 
. I hope the investigation continues and we get some real answers about what went down with Stormy Daniels and all that shady business 
.
. I'm just hoping that justice will be served and whoever is responsible gets held accountable 
anyone who thought trump was above the law was sadly wrong 
! I'm not surprised tho 
. The fact that he used a non-profit org to funnel money is just wild 
. I hope he enjoys his little vacation in Mar-a-Lago 
'cause he won't be getting out anytime soon 
. 34 felony counts? That's some serious heat 
! He needs to shape up or ship out 
.
. The thing is, the law applies to everyone, regardless of your family name or wealth 
, but the evidence looks pretty damning right now 
. Maybe this is an opportunity for us to talk about the importance of accountability in politics and holding leaders like Trump to the same standards as everyone else 
130k for a quiet affair? that's just wild 
. gotta feel bad for the woman who got paid off to shut her mouth about that affair though 
. hopefully justice is served and he faces some real consequences for his actions
