Former President Trump labeled Fox News’ Shannon Bream “naive” on Wednesday after she rejected her lawyer’s claim that his hush money criminal trial was somehow directed by the White House.
Bream said in an interview with Trump lawyer and spokeswoman Alina Habba that President Biden is “not responsible” for the trial, rejecting her false claims that the case is politically organized from the top.
“I never knew Shannon Bream was so ‘naive,’” Trump said in a Social Posting the Truth Wednesday, calling the idea that Biden is not involved in the case “stupid.”
“Not only is he involved, he’s virtually leading all the other Challenges as well – namely his people, because he’s not mentally sharp enough to lead anything!” He continued. “Just take a look at the DOJ/White House crooks involved and everything.”
The former president added: “Biden is incompetent and feels that weaponization is the only way to win. He’s counting on Shannon Breams of the World to get him there. Bad day for Shannon!
Bream noted in the interview with Habba that the former president’s criminal case to hush money is led by New York prosecutors, not federal prosecutors, meaning that even if there was political influence in the case, it wouldn’t come from Biden.
“It’s a statewide trial,” Bream explained. “That’s it [Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg. If you think there’s a political motive to it, it’s not connected to the DOJ.” I mean, the feds passed on these election charges.”
Federal prosecutors previously dismissed Trump’s prosecution over allegations that he illegally covered up hush money payments made in the weeks before the 2016 election to hide an alleged past affair, which he has denied.
The former president has pleaded not guilty in the case, in which he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records, and his political allies have repeatedly said the charges against him are political and designed to prevent him from winning a second term in office. White House. this fall.
A jury in New York began deliberating a verdict in the case on Wednesday morning.
Trump also faces two separate criminal cases over his efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election, as well as a federal case over the White House’s withholding of confidential records and refusing to return them after the end of his term.
