Trump was indicted Thursday Night
45th President Donald J. Trump was indicted by a Manhattan Grand Jury Thursday evening. President Trump is expected to be arraigned in the Manhattan Courtroom at 2:15 pm eastern time on Tuesday. Tuesday’s arraignment will be the first time a president, past or present, has been arrested in American history. Trump took to TruthSocial on Friday to express his concerns that the judge overseeing his arraignment will not give him fair due process.
“The Judge “assigned” to my Witch Hunt Case, a ‘Case’ that has NEVER BEEN CHARGED BEFORE, HATES ME. His name is Juan Manuel Marchan, was hand picked by Bragg & the Prosecutors, & is the same person who ‘railroaded’ my 75 year old former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, to take a ‘plea’ deal (Plead GUILTY, even if you are not, 90 DAYS, fight us in Court, 10 years (life!) in jail. He strong armed Allen, which a judge is not allowed to do, & treated my companies, which didn’t ‘plead,’ VICIOUSLY. APPEALING!”
On Friday, Trump also criticized Alvin Bragg’s coworker.
“Matthew Collangelo left the DOJ in Washington, D.C., to work with Bragg at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to ‘GET TRUMP.’ Also, don’t forget Clinton Lawyer Mark Pomerantz, who left private practice to become a D.A. Prosecutor of President Donald J. Trump, only to leave during the investigative process to sell a book, and tainting the entire case, heretofore unheard of ‘stuff.’ It’s not supposed to work that way. ELECTION INTERFERENCE, KANGAROO COURT!”
Since the indictment was announced, Trump has expressed concern that he will not receive a fair trial in New York. Trump expressed his concerns in a Thursday night post on TruthSocial “They only brought this Fake, Corrupt, and Disgraceful Charge against me because I stand with the American People, and they know that I cannot get a fair trial in New York,” he wrote.
President Trump recently praised National File’s “very good reporting” on a story that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg only received 10% of the vote when he was elected in 2021.
Is there no way to challenge the indictment prior to arraignment?
Kangaroo York City.
I notice the cowards in the “2%” and “oathbreakers” groups are suddenly awful quiet. Probably off doing meal team six stuff in the woods.
What restrictions will they attempt to place on President Trump? A gag order? Travel restrictions? What else?
Okay, so we have an official date and time when the country died. The problem is, far too few are willing to acknowledge the rotting corpses all around them.
Wear a leg bracelet, and be confined to his apartment at Trump Tower, or no bail stay in jail until trial sometime in 2033....................
I’m no lawyer, but I believe the Trump legal team could ask for it to be thrown out..........which it won’t be...............
In reality he doesn’t have to go. It’s a state’s issue and he’s in Florida. Secret Service is required to protect him even if he turns himself.
Good question. It's all about control after all.
They will muzzle and chain this presidential candidate they don't like as much as they can.
They might as well freeze him in carbonite! Sarc.
I heard that Bragg wanted Trump there TODAY and his lawyers said no, so we get the announced day and time of Tues/2:15pm so some lunatic can know when to go shoot him.
They may say he can’t travel to places like out of state rallys. Then the whole world would know that this is 100% political.
They will probably seize his jet....................
Why is Trump going to Manhattan? Why doesn’t he just stay at Mar-a-Lago while he fights the indictment?
Bragg is way too big for his britches.
Yes, I saw what I did there…
Meme of Bragg tearing his suit like Caiaphas tears his robe. Eeew.
Democrats are vile.
probably because he doesn’t like the optics of that.
