Trump Rages Into Early Morning Light Demanding Criminal Trials Closing In On Him ‘BE HALTED!’
Former President Donald Trump went to bed and woke up raging about the civil and criminal trials closing in on him — especially the one scheduled to start in a matter of weeks.
Trump showed up to court recently for a hearing in the case that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has brought involving hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, which resulted in a several-dozen-count indictment of Trump. The result of the hearing was that Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the charges and set a March 25 trial date.
While Trump is facing a total of 91 felony charges in federal and state trials, that March trial seems to be weighing heavily on Trump. After a weekend in which he won an overwhelming victory over his last remaining GOP rival in her own home state, Trump ended the weekend and began the week raging on social media about those trials — but pointedly citing the Bragg case.
Just before midnight Sunday, Trump shared with his Truth Social followers that he was watching a TV show about the just-concluded New York state fraud case that he enjoyed very much and urged them to stay up until 3 am to catch the rerun:
Wow! The Mark Levin Show just showed how Unconstitutional and unfair the NYSAG CASE against me is. A TOTAL HOAX — ELECTION INTERFERENCE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! Next showing, 3:00 A.M. Eastern, on FoxNews!
And first thing Monday morning, Trump raged against all of the cases by falsely attacking President Joe Biden and demanding all of the trials be “HALTED” — including “local” prosecutions like Bragg’s:
The Very Strict Rules and Regulations of the Department of Injustice STATE CLEARLY that you can’t prosecute a Political Opponent, or anyone, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS/HER CAMPAIGN. Why didn’t they bring these FAKE Charges THREE YEARS AGO? That would have solved all of their problems. (The answer is that they AIMED for the various trials to come up during my campaign for President, 2024!). This includes DOJ subservient “subsidiaries” like local D.A. & A.G. Offices. In other words, all of these FAKE POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS (PERSECUTIONS!) OF CROOKED JOE BIDEN’S POLITICAL OPPONENT MUST BE IMMEDIATELY HALTED!
Trump has repeatedly been fact-checked and corrected but continues to erroneously claim that President Biden is behind the prosecutions he faces, which include 34 felony counts in New York, 37 counts stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into his retention of classified documents under the Espionage Act plus a superseding indictment by Smith on three additional charges against Trump (one additional count of unlawful retention of National Defense Information and two new obstruction counts), another Smith indictment for his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and 13 election crimes counts in Georgia.
