Former US President, Donald Trump is currently facing criminal charges and 34 falconry count charges related to business fraud.
VerseNews Nigeria reported that Trump on Tuesday April 4 pleaded not guilty to all the charges brought against him before the court.
Trump was arrested and aligned on Tuesday on charges with 34 felony counts of fraud in a 16-page indictment.
Trumps indictment charged was brought up as he campaigns to become president again in the 2024 after he had spent four years in the White House.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges Trump repeatedly violated New York’s business-records laws in trying to cover up a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in an attempt to buy her silence in the days before the 2016 presidential election.
The charges came alive after a porn star, Stormy Daniels confirms a ‘hush money payment’ of $130,000 (£104,000) and claimed that he had sex with the 76-year-old US former president
Daniels says she had an affair with Trump in 2006, which he has always denied.

In 2016 she tried to sell her account of what happened to the media. Mr Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid her $130,000 to keep quiet.
Hush money is not illegal but what has got Trump into trouble is how Mr Cohen’s reimbursement was recorded in his accounts.
Mr Trump is accused of falsifying his business records in the first degree by saying the payment was for legal fees.
The district attorney alleged on Tuesday that the payments were intended “to conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election”.
This Online News Media reports that the most likely outcome at the end of this legal process is a fine, but there is also a chance he could be sent to prison.
Falsifying business records is usually prosecuted as a misdemeanour.
But the charges against Trump are all the lowest category of felony in New York, which carries a maximum prison sentence of four years per count.
