The precise charges are not yet known, but the case is focused on a hush-money payment to a porn star during his 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats &#8211; the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country &#8211; have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to \u2018Get Trump,\u2019 but now they\u2019ve done the unthinkable &#8211; indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNever before in our Nation\u2019s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cManhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he\u2019s doing Joe Biden\u2019s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time! \u201cI believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party &#8211; united and strong &#8211; will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quote from Gov Ron DeSantis: The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr. Trump is the first former president to face criminal charges.
