Trump insists ‘there was no crime, period’ and says Manhattan’s prosecutors should be investigated

Former President Donald Trump insisted on Sunday there ‘was no crime’ involved with payments he allegedly made to porn star Stormy Daniels as he demanded that New York’s Democratic prosecutors be investigated for ‘interfering’ with the election.

The former president has said he expects to be arrested as early as Tuesday on New York state charges related to a payment he made ahead of the 2016 presidential election, as he urged his supporters to ‘protest, protest, protest.’

Prosecutors argue that he violated a New York law which prohibits falsifying business records when he marked a $130,000 payment to Daniels as ‘legal expenses.’

But Trump on Sunday claimed he is not guilty of committing any crime, not even a misdemeanor, as he blasted ‘prosecutorial misconduct and interference with an election.

‘Investigate the investigators,’ he urged. 

In his lengthy post on Sunday, Trump hit out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg

In his lengthy post on Sunday, Trump hit out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is expected to indict the former president on criminal charges within the coming days.

‘When Alvin Bragg first attained office, he made it very clear that, like many other prosecutors, there would be no case against Donald J. Trump,’ he wrote. ‘Then the Biden Administration, the Democrats, and the Fake News Media began pushing him, and pushing him hard, and lo and behold, he said that there might just be a case after all.

‘I knew what that meant — He was being pushed to do something that shouldn’t be done,’ Trump claimed. ‘He wasn’t willing to stand up to Soros and the Marxists that are destroying our Country!’

Then in a follow-up post, Trump insisted there was ‘no crime, period.

‘All other of the many Democrat law enforcement officers that looked at it, took a pass,’ he noted. ‘So did Cy Vance, and so did Bragg. But then much latter [sic]. he changed his mind. Gee, I wonder why?’

At that point, Trump accused Bragg of ‘prosecutorial misconduct’ and ‘interference with an election,’ as he called for a probe into Bragg’s investigation.

The New York City DA had earlier presented evidence to a New York grand jury about the $130,000 payment to Daniels in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair.

The payment was listed as ‘legal expenses’ which Bragg’s office says is a violation of New York law which prohibits falsifying business records. 

Trump has repeatedly denied these claims, and his lawyer has accused Daniels — whose real name is Stephanie Clifford — of extortion.

Still, he refused to testify before the grand jury in his case.
