史无前例！被控34项重罪，特朗普要坐牢了吗？（讲解版）|E0407

▍原文

Donald Trump personally pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan court Tuesday.

The charges against him stem from an investigation into a hush money payment to an adult film actress in 2016. 

Trump denies all wrongdoing and his lawyers have said they’ll fight to get the charges dropped.
