The U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled against former President Donald Trump in the ‘hush money‘ case, paving the way for potential criminal charges. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to jump in on Thursday, leaving in place a lower court ruling that unsealed documents related to the investigation into Trump’s alleged payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump, who announced his 2024 presidential candidacy last month, faced the possibility of prison time if convicted. The court’s decision clears the path for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to proceed with any criminal charges that may arise from the investigation.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighed in on the situation, suggesting Trump’s statement about being arrested was a "diversionary tactic" to distract from more pressing issues, such as climate change and the economy.
Trump is set to receive his verdict in the case on Friday. legal experts are watching the situation closely, anticipating a dramatic turn of events in American politics.
