Trump tried to ‘corrupt’ the 2016 election, prosecutor alleges as hush money trial gets underway
Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public, a prosecutor told jurors Monday at the start of the former president’s historic hush money trial.
“This was a planned, coordinated, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election — to help Donald Trump get elected through illegal expenditures to silence people who had something bad to say about his behavior, using doctored corporate records and bank forms to conceal those payments along the way,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo said. “It was election fraud, pure and simple.”
President Joe Biden has officially signed the bill that will ban TikTok unless ByteDance sells it off in the next nine months. The bill also contains funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and will introduce a series of sanctions on foreign adversaries.
The Senate voted 79 to 18 in favor of the bill late Tuesday.
“For years we’ve allowed the Chinese Communist party to control one of the most popular apps in America that was dangerously shortsighted,” said Senator Marco Rubio, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee. “A new law is going to require its Chinese owner to sell the app. This is a good move for America.”
Only 18 percent of teens support a TikTok ban. Additionally, Republicans are more likely to support a TikTok bank—although this number declined from 60 percent in March to 50 percent in October. Only 29 percent of registered Democrats said they would support a ban as of October.
The app is officially banned from US government phones due to its ability to collect data and potentially send it to the Chinese government. National security concerns about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) collecting data is the primary reason behind the bill, which was originally named “the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.”
