Dear MoveOn member,
This afternoon, Donald Trump was arrested and charged with an eye-popping
34 felonies, stemming from the fraudulent hush money payments he made to
Stormy Daniels in the final days before the 2016 election.^1
We have known that Trump was a criminal long before he ever stepped foot
in the White House. He has used his power and privilege to avoid facing
consequences for his actions for decades. He cannot be allowed to skirt
accountability once again.

This is the first time in Trump’s decades of corruption and criminality
that charges have been brought against him—but it is unlikely to be the
last.
He remains under active investigation in Georgia for his role in
attempting to overthrow the results of the 2020 election and by the
federal government for his involvement in planning and leading the deadly
white supremacist insurrection on January 6, 2021, and for stealing
classified documents and refusing to return them.^2
But Trump believes he is above the law, and we are already seeing him
mobilize his followers to try to stop any prosecutions against him.
Marjorie Taylor Greene led a protest today in Manhattan, and Trump’s other
stooges in Congress—including Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan—are vowing to
start sham investigations into Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district
attorney who charged Trump.^3
John, no one is above the law.
No candidate. No politician. No elected official. And certainly not Trump.
He has admitted, on tape, to sexually assaulting women.^4
He is at the center of a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020
election.^5
He stole and destroyed federal documents and lied to obstruct the
investigation into it.^6
And he remains the subject of several criminal investigations and civil
lawsuits for his crimes.^7
As we continue to await the results of those investigations, today's
arrest represents a turning point in finally starting to hold Trump
accountable for flouting the law over and over again.

Want to support MoveOn's work? We know how to end the epidemic of gun
violence in America, but the NRA and gun manufacturers use their control
over the GOP to stop every effort to ban assault weapons and pass other
commonsense gun control laws. We’re organizing to end the gun industry's
stranglehold on policymakers.
Will you join us in the fight to protect our loved ones from gun violence?
