The former president has threatened there will be 'death and destruction' if he's indicted in New York. But his biggest troubles may come in other courtrooms.
“WHY WON’T BRAGG DROP THIS CASE?” he wrote on his Truth Social account last week of Manhattan Dist. Atty.who is investigating Trump’s alleged payment of hush money to a porn star. “... THIS IS NO LEGAL SYSTEM, THIS IS THE GESTAPO, THIS IS RUSSIA AND CHINA, BUT WORSE.”
Charges from those probes would make Trump the center of attention, which he likes. But they’ll also take his time and energy away from running for president. They’ll take money, too, since he‘ll need expensive lawyers to defend him in each venue.Almost no one who’s run for president has been as well known as Trump, who’s had near-universal name recognition for a generation. Opinions so long held don’t usually change.
A federal prosecutor, special counsel Jack Smith, is investigating Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home, along with false claims by his lawyers that he had returned all of them. Trump called that prosecutor a “thug.” Now add the danger that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump’s principal rival for the nomination, might weaponize the former president’s legal troubles against him.
He worked in another mention of “porn star hush money payments,” and added: “I’ve got real issues to deal with here in the state of Florida.”
