Former Reality TV Show Host/WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump Indicted on Criminal Charges
WrestleMania 23 headliner (and WWE Hall of Famer) Donald Trump has been indicted on criminal charges, according to the New York District Attorney.
The former reality TV show host is being investigated for an alleged hush money cover up involving an extramarital affair that Trump had with noted porn star, Stormy Daniels.
That’s according to CNN, who wrote that “Trump has frequently called the various investigations surrounding him a “witch hunt,” attempting to sway public opinion on them by casting himself as a victim of what he’s claimed are political probes led by Democratic prosecutors. As the indictment reportedly neared, Trump urged his supporters to protest his arrest, echoing his calls to action following the 2020 election as he tried to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden.”
Trump, who has become something of an idolized figure among certain segments of the population due to his post-reality television career, has constantly preached his own innocence, despite seemingly overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Daniels claimed the affair took place in 2006 but, in the years since, she has certainly proven herself to be anything other than a fan of ‘The Donald.’
“Daniels claims an affair with Trump in 2006,” The Guardian reports. “Trump denies the affair but has admitted directing his then lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, to pay Daniels $130,000 for her silence.”
Now, that “hush money” has come back to haunt the real estate mogul and seven-times bankrupt businessman.
Whether Mr. Trump will actually see any real jail time remains to be seen, but it probably won’t happen. Still, at least he is being held accountable, even just a little bit, for his actions.
