President-elect Trump on Sunday blasted the “corrupt” and “broken” legal system ahead of a Jan. 10 sentencing date in his New York hush money case. In a Truth Social post highlighted by Mediaite, the president-elect said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) “never wanted to bring this lawless case against me.” “He was furious at the way it was handled, and especially angry at MARK POMERANTZ for his behavior, and what he did,” Trump added. Pomerantz, a former Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecutor who worked on an investigation by the office of hush money payments from Trump, has said that Bragg possessed sufficient evidence to convict Trump in 2022. “Ultimately, the Biden/Harris DOJ forced Bragg to concoct anything to embarrass TRUMP. But it was even more so what the CORRUPT and TOTALLY CONFLICTED POLITICAL HACK Judge did, and is doing, on this sham trial,” Trump said in his Sunday post. “I even have, STILL, an Unconstitutional Gag Order where I am not allowed to speak about the Judge’s highly disqualifying Conflicts of Interest. Virtually ever legal scholar and pundit says THERE IS NO (ZERO!) CASE AGAINST ME.” “The Judge fabricated the facts, and the law, no different than the other New York Judicial and Prosecutorial Witch Hunts,” he added. “That’s why businesses are fleeing New York, taking with them millions of jobs, and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAXES. The legal system is broken, and businesses can’t take a chance in getting caught up in this quicksand. IT’S ALL RIGGED, in this case against a political opponent, ME!!!” Last week, Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump’s hush money case criminal sentencing for next Friday, rejecting a demand from the president-elect for the case to be dismissed for the accommodation of his presidency after his election victory. Trump on Friday expressed his frustration on Truth Social in the wake of Merchan setting next week’s sentencing date. “This illegitimate political attack is nothing but a Rigged Charade. ‘Acting’ Justice Merchan, who is a radical partisan, just issued another order that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the Presidency as we know it,” Trump said on social media. The Hill has reached out to a legal services organization Pomerantz is a part of, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the New York State Unified Court System’s Department of Communications and the Department of Justice for comment.
