Hours before his New York court appearance, Donald Trump released his first impressions of what is happening right now in Manhattan in an email he sent to his followerswhere he also included a link through which he asked them to do so make a “collaboration to save America”.
Announcing the email as the “last email” before his arrest, Trump called the legal process he’s involved in “a tragic day for the country.” He also expressed concern that, in his view of him, the United States is becoming “a Marxist third world country”.
Minutes after the email was sent, Trump posted to Truth Social, the social network he founded and owns, criticizing that his appearance had to take place before a New York courthouse, an incident he described as “unfair” in consideration of the fact that the city has sectors where the Republican vote does not exceed 1%.
darts against the judge
The former president also targeted Juan Merchán, the judge who will preside over the hearing, who he described as someone “extremely partisan” who belongs to a family of “known Trump haters”.
It should be remembered that Merchán sentenced to prison Allen Weisselberg, a man very close to the former president, responsible for the trial of the Trump Organization for tax fraud, and in the case against former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
According to CNN, Merchán is known as a judge who imposes strict order on your living roomand does not allow for interruptions or distractions. He also has a reputation for not letting riots break out in his living room.even with high-profile defendants.
“CLOWN CUT,” wrote Trump on the social network.
An emphatic affirmation of innocence
Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, said the former president’s court appearance for the prosecution on Tuesday would be brief because the trial “doesn’t take long.”
“It won’t be a long day in court”he said on ABC’s “Good Morning America”.
“We know the basis of the allegation and the allegations made in the indictment,” Tacopina said, adding that Trump would maintain his innocence.
“One thing I can assure you as I sit here today: There will be no guilty plea in this case. That is one thing I can guarantee,” he said.
it looked like tacopine predicted that the case would eventually be dismissed.
“I don’t think this case will see a jury,” he said. “I think there is a legal challenge that will be done and should be done successfully.”
