Indictment Looms, But Trump Keeps Posting
Since his Message on Saturday In which he predicted the arrest of Tuesday that has never occurred, the former president published or republished more than 80 times on Truth Social, the Twitter clone he built after being launched from this platform after the insurrection of the Capitol on January 6.
Most Trump’s messages involved raging it against the Manhattan district prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, who oversees the case against Trump, who would be centered on his involvement in a payment of silent money made to an adult artist Stormy Danielsreal name Stephanie Clifford, who said she had a affair With Trump before the 2016 elections. Trump admitted to refund His lawyer, Michael Cohen, for payment, but denied having had sex with Daniels.
In a series of disjointed and without evidence messages that have alternated between tiny messages or capital letters, Trump attacked Bragg as a democratic prosecutor who continued a political vendetta against him at the request of more powerful liberals.
“I find it very difficult to believe,” wrote Trump in one of these articles which is emblematic of the way he takes all this, “that a racist, soros, supported DA, who leaves the murderers, the rapists and the drug traffickers walk freely, and who presided over the greatest violent crime in the history of NYC, uses the power of his office not to be the search for the mind, United States – to not have finished, and not finish, a former President of the United States – for not finishing, and not finishing, a former President of the United States – not to have finished, and not finish, a former President of the United States – not to make mind! But we will return America again great !!! “”
Trump also repeatedly research To link Bragg to the billionaire George Soros, whose political gifts are often the target of Anti -Semitic attacks on the rightbut to whom Links with the DA seem weak.
In addition, Trump has previewed an argument that his lawyers should make if he is charged: that any indictment does not arise from the limitation period on such a crime. “These are many years beyond the limitation period which, in this case, is two years,” he wrote Monday. “Most importantly, there was no crime !!!”
The expected accusation against Trump – that he would have Falsified commercial records to hide another crime (In this case, a likely violation of the electoral federal law) – would generally have a Deadline of five years from the date of the alleged conduct (i.e. 2016).
But prosecutors also have more time under the law to bring accusations when a defendant “was continuously outside this state“Like Trump, who has spent years living in the White House and Florida.
Trump has also repeatedly attacked the nature of the case which should be brought against him, highlighting Wednesday an extract from a History of the New York Times This analyzed the legal strategy not tested to mix state and federal accusations.
