Former National Security Adviser John Bolton is ripping Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump.
During an appearance on CNN after the indictment was unsealed, Bolton said, “Speaking as someone who very strongly does not want Donald Trump to get the Republican presidential nomination, I’m extraordinarily distressed by this document.”
“I think this is even weaker than I feared it would be, and I think it’s easily subject to being dismissed or a quick acquittal for Trump,” he added.

Weeks after Trump stirred up speculation by predicting he would be arrested in Bragg’s investigation into hush money payments ahead of the 2016 election, he has been officially charged.
Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records. That crime is normally a misdemeanor in New York, but it can be bumped up to a felony if it was committed to hide another crime. In this case, Bragg argues that false business records were made to hide election law violations.
