Lock him up?

From The Independent:

Donald Trump has been indicted by a New York City grand jury on charges of falsifying business records stemming from payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to prevent her from revealing an affair he had with her before the 2016 election.

A source told The Independent that grand jurors voted to indict the ex-president at some point this week, but that indictment is currently under seal.

It was only filed with the New York Supreme Court late Thursday just before the court clerk’s office wrapped its business for the day.

Filing the indictment, which has been signed by the grand jury foreperson and the clerk of the court, is what makes a criminal case official, but it is currently under seal until unveiled in the near future by District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

The twice-impeached former president had signaled that he could face arrest by Mr Bragg’s office, which was still in the process of presenting evidence to a grand jury as recently as Monday.

He previously said in a post on his Truth Social website that he had expected to be arrested on 20 March, but that date came and went without an indictment from the grand jury.

In the time between when he falsely claimed he would be arrested and the announcement that the grand jury had, in fact, indicted him, the ex-president who in 2021 fomented a violent attack on the US Capitol in an attempt to remain in power despite having lost the 2020 election....
