NEW YORK. Consent to the annexation of part of Ukraine to Russia would be Donald Trumpsince he was president today, according to his statement in a radio interview earlier this week. “While I was in the White House, Russia did not capture anything. If I made an agreement, there would be no war. Don’t forget, with Bush, Russia took Georgia, with Obama, Crimea, and with Biden, everything,” the ex-president said on the air of the show, commentator and Trump supporter Sean Hannity. Among other things, Trump said that he would make “a deal with Putin’s Russia, and the war will end in 24 hours.”

At the same time, Trump could soon face criminal charges for paying a ransom to keep his lover and former porn star Stormy Daniels from talking about their relationship. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office gave the former president the opportunity to testify before a grand jury on Monday in the Daniels bribery case. New York criminal law allows potential defendants to answer grand jury questions before they are charged.

Manhattan District Attorney’s Office investigation into Trump’s $130,000 payment to Daniels in the closing days of the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump claims prosecutors are conducting a witch hunt against him, calling Manhattan U.S. Attorney Melvin Bragg, an African-American, a “fanatic.” and “racist”.

In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump maintained his innocence and used offensive and sexist language against Daniels.
