Trump goes off on ‘corrupt’ Bragg as he confirms NYC court appearance after indictment: ‘America was not supposed to be this way!’
By Lee Brown, NY Post, April 3, 2023:
Former President Donald Trump confirmed he will fly to New York on Monday, one day ahead of his unprecedented criminal arraignment — as the NYPD is already setting up a huge ring of steel ahead of protests.
“I will be leaving Mar-a-Lago on Monday at 12 noon, heading to Trump Tower in New York,” Trump, 76, confirmed on Truth Social late Sunday of his flight from his Florida resort to his Fifth Ave. pad.
“On Tuesday morning I will be going to, believe it or not, the Courthouse. America was not supposed to be this way!” he complained.
The ex-president — who is running again for 2024 — detailed his travel plans just 15 minutes after again attacking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for the charges over the $130,000 hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
ADVERTISEMENT“The Corrupt D.A. has no case,” Trump wrote of the charges, expected to be in the dozens, with at least one felony.
“What he does have is a venue where it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get a Fair Trial (it must be changed!), and a Trump Hating Judge, hand selected by the [George] Soros backed D.A. (he must be changed!),” he wrote after long claiming the case against him is a “witch hunt.”
“Also has the DOJ working in the D.A.’s Office – Unprecedented!”
Trump is expected to report to the courthouse Tuesday morning, where he will be fingerprinted and have a mug shot taken, like anyone else facing charges.
Once the booking is complete, Trump will appear before a judge for an afternoon arraignment.
His attorney in the case, Joe Tacopina, has said the 45th commander-in-chief will not be handcuffed, but predicted Bragg’s team will “try to make sure they get some joy out of this by parading him” in a perp walk and leaking the mugshot.
