NEW YORK—Today, jury selection begins in People of the State of New York v. Donald Trump. Donald Trump is charged with 34 felony counts for allegedly falsifying business records to hide information from voters in 2016 months before the presidential election.

Stand Up America’s President and Founder, Sean Eldridge, issued the following statement on the trial:

“Donald Trump will finally face accountability for falsifying his company’s business records in order to conceal damning information from voters ahead of the 2016 election. Concealing secret payments and then lying in official filings to cover it up is a serious crime, which is why Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts.

“This case is a clear example of Trump’s pattern of engaging in criminal behavior to cling to power and hide the truth from the American people. No one is above the law in the United States of America, including former presidents.

“A functioning democracy depends on voters having the information they need to pick their leaders. Trump engaged in criminal acts to cover up the truth just days before the 2016 election, and now he will finally face a jury of everyday Americans.”
