Donald Trump criticised Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who brought the hush money case against the former president.
Trump said Bragg did not even want to bring the case until he announced he would run in the 2024 presidential election.
“We have a DA, a failed DA, crime is rampant in New York, violent crime, that’s what he’s really supposed to be looking at . . . and Bragg is down watching a trial on what they call crimes,” Trump said at his press conference on Friday.
“Nobody wanted to bring the case,” Trump continued. “When Bragg came in he said this is the most ridiculous case I’ve ever seen . . . Then when I announced I was running for president, a long time later, they decided to revive this case.”
Trump said he wanted to testify, and didn’t care about the risk of perjury.
