继上次预计被捕后（戳这里回顾），特朗普的起诉案件有了新消息：美国纽约州一个大陪审团已表决同意以刑事罪名起诉特朗普。

据CNN援引知情人士的话说，特朗普在起诉书中面临30多项与商业欺诈有关的指控，包括涉嫌在2016年美国大选前向成人电影演员丹尼尔斯支付“封口费”并伪造记录。特朗普因此成为美国历史上第一位面临刑事指控的现任或前任总统。

Former President Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case. It marks the first time in US history that a current or former president will face criminal charges. The Manhattan district attorney's office has been investigating Trump in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
 

特朗普现年76岁，2017年1月至2021年1月担任美国总统。去年11月，特朗普宣布再次竞选美国总统。除了“封口费”案，特朗普还牵扯其他多项刑事调查。报道称，起诉书可能在未来几天公布，检察官将要求特朗普出庭。
 

不出意外，特朗普再次刷屏外媒：
 

CNN的首页上就言简意赅的写着两个词：特朗普被起诉。
 

据中新网报道，当天，特朗普本人发表声明否认自己有不当行为，并表示对他的起诉是“史上最高级别的政治迫害和选举干预”，最终将对现任总统拜登产生巨大的、适得其反的影响。

Trump responded Thursday after a grand jury voted to indict him with a statement, calling it "Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in histor……I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden."
 

特朗普声称：
 

“我们国家的历史上从来没有出现过这样的事情。民主党人过去数十年来无数次的欺骗，包括监视我的选举活动，将司法系统作为武器攻击政敌，而这位政敌是美国总统、迄今为止的共和党领先候选人。这样的事情，从来没有发生过。”

“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.”

 

此后不久，特朗普公开号召粉丝为其诉讼案件捐款。他的竞选团队表示，自3月18日起，他已经筹集到超过200万美元，并且呼吁支持者进行抗议。

Shortly after, Trump appealed to supporters to provide money for a legal defense.He has raised over $2 million since March 18, according to his campaign, and called for people to protest.

 

特朗普的律师乔·塔科皮纳表示，预计特朗普下周初向曼哈顿地区检察官办公室自首（turn himself in）。另一名律师苏珊•内切莱斯则透露，特朗普将于下周二（当地时间4月4日）在纽约出庭接受提审。
 

美联社则在标题中就突出：特朗普可能将于下周“自首”（surrender）。
 

此外，美联社的文章还分析，特朗普被起诉后，2024年的美国大选“进入未知领域（uncharted territory）”
 

与美联社相似，其他外媒也更关注特朗普被起诉的意义，以及造成的后续影响。
 

路透社称，这是美国的分水岭时刻，起诉特朗普让美国踏上不确定的历程。
 

BBC的报道则认为，特朗普的诉讼对于美国的“自我感”是一次冲击。
 

文章写道：
 

很多情况下，一国首脑面临刑事诉讼甚至进监狱都不是新闻，历史上世界很多地方都发生过：总统、首相、军事领导人被赶走后直奔牢房。

In some ways, a former head of state being charged with a crime and possibly even going to prison is not news. It's happened all over the world down the ages: hundreds of presidents, prime ministers and military leaders turfed out of palaces and straight into prisons.
 

但美国总觉得自己是个例外；而华盛顿作为山巅之城，是“民主与道德的灯塔”。

But America regards itself as exceptional; and Washington, the city on a hill that provides a moral and democratic beacon for the world.
 

所以，对于特朗普而言，加入了“班房俱乐部”可能不是什么麻烦，但是对于美国的信心和自信，绝对是进一步的打击。

So joining this particular club is not just a problem for Donald Trump. It's a further blow to America's confidence and self-belief.
