In a message posted this morning on his social media account, Trump claimed that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had accused him of a “false crime” for which, if he was convicted, he could unleash “catastrophic” violence in the USA.
“What kind of person can identify another person, in this case the former president of the United States of America (…) with a crime, when everyone knows that no crime has been committed, and they also know that death and destruction are possible. Can a crime be so disastrous for the state?
In his publication, Trump insisted on a number of repeated ideas since he left power, that he would have more votes than any president in the entire history, even if he was defeated in 2020 by the Democrat Joe Biden, which he denies. the legitimization of elections.
Already last week, the former president warned of an imminent arrest and even set for Tuesday a possible arrest, which ultimately did not happen.
Bragg, who initiated the case and asked a grand jury to investigate whether to proceed with the investigation, declined to comment on the matter, according to a press release from the European Press Agency.
However, last week he announced his commitment, saying that he would “apply the law uniformly and uniformly” and only “when appropriate”.
“We will not use our efforts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” the statement read.
