Trump criticizes NY criminal case as ‘Biden trial’ designed to harm his chances in November election

Former President Trump Blasts President Biden Ahead of New York Criminal Trial

Former President Donald Trump made a fiery statement on Monday as he arrived in court in Manhattan for the opening statements in his criminal trial. Trump accused President Biden of orchestrating the trial to hurt his chances in the upcoming election, calling it a “witch hunt” and “political persecution.”

Trump, who is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He has maintained his innocence and vowed to tell the truth if he takes the stand.

The former president criticized the trial as a coordinated effort with Washington and accused the prosecutors of working in tandem with the Biden administration. Trump’s attorney also defended him, stating that the facts are on his client’s side and that he did nothing wrong.

In addition to the charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump also addressed the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. He criticized James and the judge overseeing the case, claiming bias against him.

Despite being subject to a gag order in the criminal trial, Trump took to social media to express his frustration, calling the trial a “planned and coordinated witch hunt.” The trial is set to continue as the legal battle between Trump and the prosecutors intensifies.
