On Tuesday, President Donald J. Trump traveled from his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, to New York City to attend an arraignment hearing on charges by partisan Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
At the hearing, the president did not speak or show emotion, according to reports. Television cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, but pool cameras were allowed to take photos, such as this one:
Trump pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts lobbed against him by the partisan district attorney, who, before taking office, threatened to go on an unending, merciless witch hunt against President Trump.
Following the hearing and after arriving back at Mar-a-Lago, Trump addressed supporters.
He said, “They want to settle the case, but I want no part of that,” adding, “This is a persecution, not an investigation.”
“The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information for which he should be prosecuted, or at a minimum, he should resign.”
He also noted, “Various prosecutors in the DA’s office also quit because they thought President Trump is being treated very unfairly. Oh, I love that. I’d like to meet them.”
In an email statement released following his remarks, President Trump wrote, “EVERY American who believes in justice and the rule of law must stand against this witch hunt. These tyrants cannot be rewarded. They must be completely and unconditionally defeated. Once their hatred and division are stopped, we will find that we have much more in common than we thought. We will be one country again. Together, we will deliver a great rebirth of American freedom. Pray for me. Pray for my family. Most importantly, pray for our country.”
Following the president’s arraignment, the Republican Party of New Mexico chairman, former Congressman Steve Pearce, wrote, “The charges released today only add more questions about the credibility of this indictment. No new information was given in the unsealed documents. Federal and district prosecutors previously decided not to charge the same allegations made against former President Trump almost seven years ago. Prosecuting district attorney Alvin Bragg was rightfully asked today, ‘Why now?’ We all know why.”
That DA is out of his league. And shouldn’t “charges” like this be brought up by Congress? This is nothing more than a political stunt driven by Trump Derangement Syndrome!
The U.S. Attorney’s office declined to pursue charges against Trump, so Tom, you are right about this being nothing but another political stunt by Trump haters. They are sick and malicious people.
Actually, they are dirtbags who only look human. What a pathetic bunch.
Interesting that Trump is being crucified during Easter week. Coincidence?

Wuhan-Grisham outspent his “hush money” by $20,000 for HER grope w/out consequence….
EVIL is out of control, and they will do anything to keep an honest God-fearing person out of office. They are afraid of him because he loves his country and exposed the radical commies and their mission. God help us.
