McKinley Franklin author After Donald Trump’s arrest on Tuesday, many celebrities took to Twitter to express their joy on the historic moment. The former president’s arraignment in Lower Manhattan is tied to his involvement in a “hush money” scheme associated with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump has plead not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been investigating Trump’s $130,000 payoff payment to Daniels to stay silent about her alleged affair with the former president. Michael Cohen advanced the payment to Daniels in 2016, leading to falsified business records and a false reflection of payment reimbursement from the Trump Organization. While “hush money” payoffs are not criminal offenses, the way in which the transaction was carried out has been recognized as a misdemeanor, which subsequently lead to Trump’s arrest.

Janine Teagues is a second grade teacher who is caring and wholesome, but I’m the opposite. I mean, I’m not a filthy whore but I like to have fun,” Brunson joked. For viewers not familiar with Brunson, the actor provided a biting description of her acclaimed mockumentary series that caused an eruption of laughter among the crowd: “It’s a network sitcom, like ‘Friends,’ but instead of being about a group of friends it’s about a group of teachers, instead of New York it’s Philadelphia and instead of not having Black people, it does.”

Or, as I spell it, indicated.”He then explained that as he faces consequences for his crimes (“What the radical left democrats are doing to me is worse than any crime ever committed”), he’s launching an album of cover songs called “Now That’s What I Call My Legal Defense Fund.”“I’ve been opening my rallies with my wonderful song ‘Justice for All,’” he said, referencing the very real song that Trump and those imprisoned for their actions on Jan.
