Trump gloats as media rejects DA Bragg case: 'The good news is they have nothing'

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to take something of a victory lap as he highlighted the pronouncements of media pundits and legal scholars that the criminal case against him was failing.

"So with all that's going on they have no case. Every single legal scholar that I see, maybe there's somebody out there some whack job, but virtually everyone that I've seen have said that there's absolutely no case. It's a case that shouldn't have been brought," Trump said. "The previous DA wouldn't bring it. Bragg didn't want to bring it and then he brought it because I'm running."

"This all comes down to the White House and Crooke Joe Biden," Trump declared. "It's an attack on his political opponent."

"The trial is a very unfair trial... the good news is they have nothing," he concluded.

Trump made the remarks outside of the courthouse in New York amid Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution of the former president for allegedly falsifying business records. He has pleaded not guilty and contends the case is part of a broader political witch hunt designed to derail his 2024 White House bid.

During his remarks, Trump rattled off a list of media hits in which figures on major networks either cast doubt on the validity of the case or the proceedings.

"Some of the statements made about this witch hunt on CNN, fake news CNN: Michael Moore said the proval [sic] of falsifying records has not been accomplished," he stated. "On 'Good Morning America,' they said we heard that expense payments to lawyers are legal expenses."

"Also NBC 'Today Show' the challenge is that there is no smoking gun, no email or tape, to prove the president's intent. They don't have a way to prove that. That's NBC 'Today Show,'" he continued.

"And then Fox News, Katie Cherkasky said that the gag order is unconstitutional, which of course it is the gag order is unconstitutional."
