The news of Donald Trump’s indictment has come as a shock to many — including someone in the studio at Fox News. A surprise alert came during the telecast of Fox News Live on Thursday: “…
As Smith gave the announcement, a voice on a hot mic was heard gasping, followed by someone saying “What?” and “Hmm!” It is unclear whether the exclamations came from one, two or three different voices.
The indictment makes Trump the first-ever U.S. president to receive criminal charges, though the exact charges are not yet known. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg presides over the case, which is based on testimony from Trump’s former lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, who served time in prison for tax evasion and campaign finance violations. Cohen claims that Trump ordered him to pay Daniels $13,000 to cover up her and Trump’s alleged affair, though Trump denies wrongdoing.
“For the first time in our Country’s history, a President of the United States has been indicted,” Cohen told CNN and the New York Times in a statement. “I take no pride in issuing this statement and wish to also remind everyone of the presumption of innocence; as provided by the due process clause. However, I do take solace in validating the adage that no one is above the law; not even a former President. Today’s indictment is not the end of this chapter; but rather, just the beginning.
