Donald Trump's Newest Dubious Honor: An Entry On NY's 'WebCriminal'

NEW YORK CITY — Donald Trump is famous for keeping "news clippings" about himself, but there's one place he likely wishes his name didn't show up: New York's court case website as a criminal defendant.

The former president's hush-money case with all 34 counts of falsifying business records is now up for the public to see and track on "WebCriminal" following his historic arraignment Tuesday.

For those New Yorkers who haven't tracked local criminal proceedings, WebCriminal is an official online clearinghouse for bare-bones information about any case active within the state's court system. Trump's entry on the site filled many court watchers and New Yorkers with an odd sense of amusement.

"The fact that Trump is on WebCrim now makes me chuckle way more than it should," tweeted one New Yorker.

Trump may be the former president, but to WebCriminal he's case number IND-715434-23. In other words, just another criminal defendant.

His entry doesn't provide hardly any new information beyond what unfolded during his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court: he pleaded not guilty and is free on his own recognizance instead of bail, it states.

But the few details still provided surprise for some.

"The incident date on valentines day no less," one reporter tweeted, alluding to the fact the case in part revolves around hush-money payments to women who said they had sex with Trump.

Trump's next scheduled court appearance is Dec. 4, but the entry likely will fill up with other hearings in what's sure to be a contentious case.
