Trump Says ‘This Is an Assault on America’ As Hush Money Trial Begins

Former President Donald Trump declared “an assault on America” was happening.

Arriving at Manhattan Criminal ⚖️Court on Monday morning, Trump told reporters: “This is an assault on America! Nothing like this has ever happened before. There’s never been anything like it.”

He continued: “Every legal scholar says this case is nonsense, it never have been brought. There has never been anything like this. There is no case… People that don’t necessarily like 👤Donald Trump say they is an outrage this case was brought.

Trump added:

“This is political persecution, a persecution like never before. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. And again it is a case that should have never been brought. It is an assault on America. And that’s why I’m very proud to be here. This is an assault on our country. It’s a country that’s failing. It’s country that’s run by an incompetent man very much involved in this case. This is really an attack on a political opponent. That’s all it is. So I’m very honored to be here, thank you very much.”
