Former President Donald Trump suggested on Thursday that New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg would soon “drop” the hush money case against him in an effort to save money and “self respect.”

Three weeks into his New York trial on Thursday evening, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post:

People are thinking that Soros backed D.A., Alvin Bragg, who never wanted to bring the Witch Hunt against me in the first place, is going to drop this ridiculous and very unpatriotic “CASE” in order to save lots of money, and also the self respect of his once revered Office. He would then be able to focus on Violent Crime, which is running rampant and totally out of control in New York. The dilemma is, and always has been, the Trump Hating (APPOINTED IN 2009 & STILL ACTING!) Judge, Juan Merchan, who would be confronted with the problem of how he would explain this TRUMP loss, to the Radical Left Democrats, to whom he owes so much? Bring back “Justice in America.” ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!

Earlier on Thursday, Trump told reporters outside the courtroom that “employers of millions of people” were leaving New York in protest over his ongoing trial.

After accusing Bragg of putting his own personal ambition above the “rule of law,” Trump said, “New York has got to do something about what’s happening because you look at Judge Engoron, you look at Judge Kaplan, what they’ve done, it’s disgraceful.”

He claimed, “Everyone’s laughing at the New York system, and companies are leaving, people are leaving, but major companies with tremendous taxpayer dollars and employers of millions of people, literally. People are leaving, they’re taking their companies and they’re all watching this case.”
