Donald Trump has demanded that the Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg “resign NOW’ and that he should “indict himself” after details of the former president’s indictment were “leaked “illegally.
According to multiple reports, the one-time president will face 34 felony charges for falsification of business records in connection to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Trump issued a series of posts on his social media platform Truth Social ahead of his arraignment in a Manhattan criminal court, mostly ranting against Bragg.
“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me,” Trump wrote.
“I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED.
“Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF,” the one-term former president added.
“He will go down in Judicial history, and his Trump-Hating wife will be, I am sure, very proud of him!” Trump wrote before demanding Bragg’s immediate resignation.
“DA BRAGG JUST ILLEGALLY LEAKED THE 33 points of Indictment. There are no changes or surprises from those he leaked days ago directly out of the Grand Jury,” he said.
“No Crime by Trump. What a MESS. Bragg should resign, NOW!”
