"[The U.S. is] going to hell," Trump said. "The only crime that I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it."
The charges are class E felonies, the lowest category carrying a maximum prison sentence of four years each. Falsifying business records under New York law is normally a misdemeanor, but prosecutors can escalate the charge if the accused falsified the records to commit or hide another crime.
State Supreme Court Justice Juan M. Merchan adjourned the case until an unspecified date, likely months from now.
