Former President Trump criticized the New York justice system ahead of a court appearance, expressing confidence that he could win New York in the upcoming election. He cited Alan Dershowitz’s words about the criminal justice system being on trial in New York and claimed that the system was corrupt. Trump is facing a case in which his former attorney Michael Cohen is being cross-examined over allegations that Trump falsified business records to conceal a payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump maintains his innocence and believes the case is a political attack by the Biden administration.
Trump has been in court for 19 days, with his legal team expecting to wrap up questioning with Cohen soon, followed by closing arguments. Trump complained about the early start time of the court proceedings, which has hindered his campaign obligations. He believes the case is interfering with his ability to campaign, describing the courtroom as a “freezing cold” environment where he has spent the last four weeks. Trump sees the case as an attempt to sabotage his campaign and views it as unfair treatment.
Despite being tied up in court, Trump has made limited campaign stops, including a rally in New Jersey that drew around 80,000 supporters. He plans to hold a rally in the Bronx, a historically liberal area, and has discussed the possibility of a rally at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Trump believes he can win over New York voters and has expressed frustration at being unable to campaign freely due to the trial. He accuses the prosecution of targeting him as a political opponent of President Biden.
As the trial continues, Trump remains defiant and optimistic about his chances of winning New York. He believes the legal proceedings are a distraction from his campaign efforts and sees them as politically motivated attacks. Trump has faced other cases in New York in the past and has criticized the court system as corrupt. Despite these challenges, Trump remains determined to fight the charges and prove his innocence. He continues to campaign and connect with voters in key areas, hoping to secure a victory in New York in the upcoming election.
