If charged, Donald Trump will become the first former US president to be indicted on criminal charges. A spokeswoman for Donald Trump said that there is currently no information available regarding the actual timing of any indictment.
"There has been no notification, other than illegal leaks from the Justice Dept. and the DA's office, to NBC and other fake news carriers, that the George Soros-funded Radical Left Democrat prosecutor in Manhattan has decided to take his Witch-Hunt to the next level.

Make America Great Again!" the spokesperson said in a statement as per The Independent.
