Former President Donald Trump is putting Fox News’ Shannon Bream on blast for pushing back on the allegation his hush money trial was directed by President Joe Biden.
In a post on Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump wrote, “I never knew Shannon Bream was so ‘naïve.’ In her interview with my Representative, Alina Habba, Shannon just suggested that Crooked Joe Biden was not involved in my Show Trial.”
“HOW STUPID! Not only is he involved, he is virtually leading it, and all of the other Trials as well – Meaning, his people, because he’s not mentally sharp enough to lead anything! Just take a look at the DOJ/White House Thugs involved, and everything else. Biden is incompetent, and feels that Weaponization is the only way he can win,” he continued.
Finally, Trump wrote, “He’s counting on the Shannon Breams of the World to get him there. Bad day for Shannon!”
Bream interviewed Trump attorney Alina Habba as the jury began its deliberations in the trial against the former president for allegedly paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The Fox host noted some voters will “always have this vision that these kinds of dramas and things will be just part of his package, part of what comes with him as president.”
Habba responded by calling it “extortion” and a “natural consequence of being a very effective human being… that is what America has become.”
“Joe Biden, unfortunately, can’t really do anything in office,” she continued. “So, he’s got to use the same means as somebody who’s just trying to have a quick slip-and-fall and make money. And that is frankly what we’re seeing right now. This is exactly a Biden show because he’s got to distract the American people.”
Bream interjected to refute the claim Biden was behind the trial, saying, “The Biden administration’s not responsible for this trial.”
“How can you say the Biden administration is not responsible for this trial?” Habba asked indignantly.
Bream explained, “It’s a state trial. It’s Alvin Bragg. Whether you think there’s a political motive for him, it’s not connected to the DOJ. I mean, the feds passed on these election charges.”
However, Habba shot back, telling Bream to “look at how many logs they have of state officials – Letitia James, Fani Willis – visiting the White House and then tell me that this is not a Biden trial.”
When the host noted federal prosecutors declined to bring the case, Habba pointed out the Biden campaign held an event outside the courthouse and claimed, “Any question that we had of that was squashed yesterday.” She also criticized the Biden team for planning to deliver remarks once a verdict in the Trump trial is returned.
