Florida will not extradite Trump – DeSantis
The former US leader is a Florida resident, and is expected to be arraigned next week
Donald Trump’s potential top rival for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has ripped the New York City prosecutor behind the criminal indictment of the former president.
“Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstancesat issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda,” DeSantis said in a tweet on Thursday.
So far there has been no reports of any potential extradition requests, as a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office told AP that prosecutors had reached out to Trump's legal team to “arrange a surrender” and a court appearance, expected sometime next week.
DeSantispreviously said he wouldn’t get involved in the case “in any way,” indicating that he wouldn’t try to help block the Florida resident’s extradition to New York, but has now echoed Trump’s belief that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “is stretching the law to target a political opponent.”
“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American,” DeSantis added.
Trump did not reveal his next steps, but warned in a post on Truth Social that this “witch-hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden,” while his lawyer Joe Tacopina vowed to “vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”

Grand jury indicts Donald Trump
The former president is “expected to surrender to authorities” next week, according to US media reports
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on Thursday for his alleged role in paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, according to his lawyer and court sources cited by US media.
Whilespecific charges were not immediately made public, Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, confirmed to AP that the grand jury voted to indict Trump on Thursday. CNN and other US outlets also confirmed the indictment, citing multiple “sources familiar with the matter.”
“We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court,” Tacopina said, insisting that his client “did not commit any crime.”
A spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office confirmed the indictment, which is expected to be officially announced in the coming days. Trump will be requested to surrender and appear in court to face arraignment on the still-sealed charges, multiple news agencies reported, citing unnamed sources.
The case centers on an alleged payment of $130,000 made by Trump to Stormy Daniels via his then-lawyer Michael Cohen during the final stages of his campaign for the US presidency in 2016. It was alleged in a legal case against Cohen that Trump later reimbursed him with several payments of $35,000 which were recorded as legal expenses, opening up further allegations of possibly falsifying business records, the non-payment of taxes and potential violations of campaign finance law. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal charges related to the alleged hush-money payment.
Trump had consistently denied the affair and any knowledge of the hush payment, and warned last week of potentially disastrous consequences if he is arrested and charged. The former president has since called on his supporters to “protest” and “take our nation back” in the event that he is officially charged and arrested by the “corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office.”

Yep, the opera is getting dramatic. Perhaps the NYTs forgot that the jury said they couldn't concur, and the judge sent them back in to deliberate.Did the NYTs jump the gun. Why wouldn’t Bragg come out and announce this?
