Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee, has reacted in a social media post, after a New York judge delayed the sentencing in the “hush money” case on Friday.
The entire case, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a progressive Democrat, is all over an alleged hush money payment given to adult film star Stormy Daniels by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen way back in 2016, prior to the election, which Bragg claimed was miscategorized.
Bragg hit Trump with 34 felony charges, and a New York jury declared him guilty of “falsifying records” to hide the reason for the reimbursement to Cohen.
The sentencing had been set for September 18. Now Judge Merchan has rescheduled the sentencing to November 26, which will be after the presidential election date.
Trump responded with the following statement:
The Manhattan D.A. Witch Hunt has been postponed because everyone realizes that there was NO CASE, I DID NOTHING WRONG! It is a political attack against me by Comrade Kamala Harris and other Radical Left Opponents for purposes of Election Interference, and is a case that should have never been brought.
Nothing like this has ever happened in the United States of America – IT IS STRICTLY THIRD WORLD, BANANA REPUBLIC “STUFF.” Importantly, The Public understands this, and so does every Legal Scholar, Expert, and Luminary, including Andy McCarthy, Jonathan Turley, Alan Dershowitz, Mark Levin, Steven Calabresi, David Rivkin, Gregg Jarrett, Katie and Andrew Cherkasky, Elie Honig, and many others.
I greatly appreciate the words “if necessary” being utilized in the Decision, because there should be no “if necessary” – This case should be rightfully terminated, as we prepare for the Most Important Election in the History of our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
In a separate statement Thursday evening, Trump had blasted Merchan for the gag order he has imposed:
This is what various Legal Scholars and Experts, Brilliant Lawyers, and Highly Respected Journalists think of the Manhattan D.A. Hoax, where the Democrats, headed up by Comrade Kamala Harris, working directly with the DOJ (which they’re not supposed to be!), want to put a Former President of the United States, and the Leading Candidate for President, in PRISON.
This is unheard of, there has never been anything like it in our Country, and they are doing it in a blatant and illegal attempt to “win” an Election that, based on their results, should be “unwinnable,” but I can’t talk about it because Judge Merchan has put an UnConstitutional Gag Order on me.
Somehow it will ALL work out – I don’t know how, I don’t know why, I don’t know when, but it always does!
