Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday blasted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a “rogue prosecutor” and declared that criminal charges “can’t be brought’ against him over his hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“The Rogue prosecutor, who is having a hard time with the Grand Jury, especially after the powerful testimony against him by Felon Cohen’s highly respected former lawyer, is attempting to build a case that has NEVER BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE AND ACTUALLY, CAN’T BE BROUGHT,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“If he spent this time, effort, and money on fighting VIOLENT CRIME, which is destroying NYC, our once beautiful and safe Manhattan, which has become an absolute HELLHOLE, would be a much better place to live!” he ranted.
To be clear, Trump is wrong. Charges were brought against former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards after prosecutors alleged that he used campaign donations to cover up an affair he was having while on the campaign trail.
Trump has not yet been formally indicted despite his claims over the weekend that he would be arrested on Tuesday of this week.
