In just a few hours, closing arguments in Donald Trump's criminal hush money case will commence in New York. The jurors are expected to begin deliberations as early as tomorrow. Trump recently took to Truth Social to express his frustrations, highlighting his electoral success and current standing in polls.
Trump's post on Truth Social emphasized his position as the Republican nominee for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. He pointed out that he had received more votes than any sitting president in the history of the United States. Trump also mentioned leading in polls against the Democrat nominee, Joe Biden.
The former president expressed concerns about facing a trial presided over by a Democrat-appointed acting judge in New York. He characterized the proceedings as being influenced by corruption and conflicts of interest. Trump questioned whether he would be unjustly labeled as a 'common criminal' as a result of the trial.
The case revolves around allegations of hush money payments made by Trump to conceal extramarital affairs. The closing arguments are expected to provide a final opportunity for both the prosecution and defense to summarize their respective cases before the jury.
Following the conclusion of the closing arguments, the jurors will be tasked with deliberating on the evidence presented during the trial. Their decision will determine the outcome of the case and whether Trump will face any legal consequences as a result of the hush money scandal.
