In a frantic late-night plea, former President Donald Trump beseeched Republicans to come to his aid as he finds himself ensnared in a web of legal woes. Trump faces multiple indictments, including charges of fraud, defamation, and sexual abuse, resulting in a staggering half-billion-dollar penalty.
Amidst a criminal trial in Manhattan over hush money allegations, Trump unleashed a blistering tirade against what he characterized as a biased judiciary. In a 2 a.m. outburst on Truth Social, he singled out judges whom he accused of colluding with his political adversaries, demanding their immediate removal.
“We have a Rigged Judge, who is working for the Democrat Party and refuses to terminate this ‘case,’ which should have never been brought by Soft on Crime Alvin Bragg,” Trump ranted.
He continued: “Judge [Juan] Merchan should be immediately removed, and the Appellate Courts have to take over. That also applies to Corrupt Judge [Arthur] Engoron, who knew I did nothing wrong, and still fraudulently fined me $500 Million Dollars while having no knowledge of Valuation, Finance, or in any way what he was doing. Same with Judge Kaplan, who allowed a woman, who I have never met (celebrity photo line does not count!), and know nothing about, to get a lawless judgment of $90 Million Dollars. New York Justice is in shambles, and only the Appellate Courts can save it.”
The ex-president then begged his Republican allies for support in what he deemed a battle for justice and political survival.
“A Republican doesn’t stand a chance,” Trump raged in his overnight post. “This is not Justice.”
“This New York Cabal, run by Crooked Joe Biden’s White House, is a hit job on a Political Opponent the likes of which the USA has never seen before,” Trump added. “For the Good of our Country, it must be stopped. The Crooked Joe Biden Witch Hunts have to be ended. REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON MUST TAKE ACTION!”
Trump’s desperate appeal came amidst mounting pressure, with legal proceedings threatening to unravel his legacy. Despite his claims of innocence and allegations of political vendettas, the ex-president’s legal woes continued to mount, with significant financial penalties looming overhead.
