Within a month the verdict. Threats to the Manhattan judge (ANSA)


Judicial clouds are gathering over Donald Trump's political future and the indictment in New York for the Stormy Daniels case, which already threatens his race to 2024, is not the darkest.

Within a month, or at most two, the verdict is expected in Georgia, the heaviest investigation among those against the former president and perhaps the only one from which he could emerge definitively defeated.

For months, a grand jury made up of three men and two women has been investigating possible interference by the tycoon to overturn the results of the vote in Fulton County.

In its first public report last month, the special jury revealed that some witnesses may have lied under oath and recommended indicting some 20 key figures, without naming Trump directly.



The former president or anyone who has committed a crime as serious as electoral fraud faces five to 20 years in prison.

Trump feels the breath on his neck and has begun to put his hands forward in his last speech in Mar-a-Lago, branding the investigation as "political manipulation" and accusing the African-American prosecutor of "racism".

In particular, the investigators are targeting a phone call in which the former president puts pressure on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger "to find 11,780 votes, one more than we have" to win.

An interview that embarrassed the tycoon but which he claimed as "absolutely perfect" at the rally at the resort.

On the other side of the investigation, Judge Juan Merchan,

who presides over the criminal case in New York, said he and his family received dozens of threats after Tuesday's hearing.

Intimidations also against the District Attorney of Manhattan Alvin Bragg and other senior officials of his office, for this the police of the metropolis has decided to further strengthen their security.



For one judge who is threatened, another gets fired upon for accepting luxury travel from a Republican billionaire financier without declaring it.

We are talking about Clarence Thomas, magistrate of the US Supreme Court, already harshly criticized for the contacts of the wife of Ginni Thomas, a Trump activist of the first hour, with the staff of the former president in the days preceding the revolt of January 6, 2021. In the last 20 years, according to ProPublica who investigated the case, Thomas has accepted luxury trips from Harlan Crow "practically every year".

Meanwhile Stormy Daniels continues to give interviews and, to Piers Morgan, she has expressed her intention to testify against Trump.

"It scares me, but I can't wait. I have nothing to hide," she said.

actress and director of hard films admitting however that she does not believe that the tycoon deserves prison for their affair.

"It was a consensual relationship, but if he's found guilty of all the other things, then he absolutely deserves prison."

The second woman of the former president also spoke, the former Plyaboy bunny Karen McDougal, who posted a photo of her in Vail, Colorado on her Instagram account, with an ironic message: "I was on vacation, let's hope we haven't lost Nothing".
