Trump After Tuesday’s Historic “Fake Case” Arraignment
“Never Thought It Could Happen In America”
Following his Tuesday arraignment in New York in front of a “Trump-hating judge,” former President Donald Trump went hard against his enemies in front of a crowd at Mar-a-Lago.
“This fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 presidential election and it should be dropped immediately,” said Trump. “I never thought anything like this could happen in America.”
“It’s an insult to our country as the world is already laughing at us”

“The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” said Trump, before going off on Manhattan DA Alan Bragg.
“The criminal is [Alvin Bragg] … he should be prosecuted, or at a minimum, he should resign,” he continued.

And in perhaps the best line of the night; “I have a Trump hating judge with a Trump hating wife and family, whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris and now receives money from the Biden/Harris campaign…It’s right out of the old Soviet Union. That’s where we are!”

Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, according to unsealed court records.
The felony charges were announced by Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan (whose daughter worked on the Biden-Harris campaign) – marking the first former president in US history to be criminally charged.
“The evidence will show that [Trump] did so to cover up crimes related to the 2016 election,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who refused to cite the “underlying crimes” related to the books and record counts “because the law does not so require.”

Trump was arrested at around 1:35 p.m. ET and appeared before Merchan, who barred the media from broadcasting the proceedings. Photographers were allowed to enter the courtroom prior to the proceedings began, before they were told to leave.

CBS‘s Scott MacFarlane described the courtroom “as stuffy, warm, and feeling like an old middle school, not like ornate federal courtrooms.”

Merchan notably warned Trump not to make social media posts that could foment unrest among his supporters, and also expressed concern that Trump could divulge sensitive information online. Trump’s attorneys, however, told reporters that would not happen.
The case is scheduled to continue on December 4th.
