Ex-prez steams at DA’s probe

- Mark Moore

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Sunday, accusing him of “prosecutor­ial misconduct” over his investigat­ion into alleged hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump — who on Saturday predicted he would be arrested Tuesday — insisted “there was no crime” in posts on his Truth Social messaging platform.

“There was no ‘misdemeano­r’ here either. There was no crime, period,” Trump, 76, wrote.

“All other of the many Democrat law enforcemen­t officers that looked at it, took a pass. So did [former Manhattan DA] Cy Vance, and so did Bragg. But then, much latter [sic], he changed his mind. Gee, I wonder why? Prosecutor­ial Misconduct and Interferen­ce with an Election. Investigat­e the Investigat­ors!” Trump said.

Following media reports last week that Trump was expected to be indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, the former president blasted “ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE” and called on his supporters to protest.

On Sunday, Trump questioned why Bragg initially decided not to pursue the case and then reversed his decision, leading to the possible indictment this week.

“When Alvin Bragg first attained office, he made it very clear that, like many other prosecutor­s, there was no case against Donald J. Trump. Then the Biden Administra­tion, the Democrats, and the Fake News Media began pushing him, and pushing him hard, and low [sic] and behold he said that there might just be a case after all,” the 45th president said.

Trump also called Bragg a “racist” and tied him to billionair­e George Soros.
