Trump and his loyalists have used rhetoric that echoed his false claims of widespread election fraud in the build-up to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot
Many Republicans in the U.S. Congress have responded to Donald Trump’s looming Tuesday arraignment by characterizing the criminal justice system as corrupt, in accusations that parallel their earlier broadsides against the nation’s elections after the former president’s 2020 defeat.
Trump says he is innocent of the expected New York charges - which revolve around hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Details of the charges are as yet unclear.He says the investigation and three other probes involving his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat and his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House are all politically motivated.
“Undercutting the system of government is a serious matter and a threat to our future,” she said in an interview. Most Republicans have trained their invective on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, accusing the prosecutor of mounting a politically motivated investigation aimed at preventing Trump from being re-elected to the White House in 2024., the Republican-controlled House launched its own probe of Bragg’s grand jury investigation, seeking documents and testimony.
“You and many of your colleagues have chosen to collaborate with Mr. Trump’s efforts to vilify and denigrate the integrity of elected state prosecutors and trial judges,” the Manhattan prosecutor wrote. Historians, including Princeton University professor Julian Zelizer, said Republican statements about Bragg and the criminal justice system follow a long-established partisan line.
