Former President Donald Trump posted messages attacking Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James over the fraud trial that’s entering its final phase.
Trump was the star attraction last week at his trial in the fraud case brought by AG James and presided over by Judge Engoron.
He took the stand after a week in which both former co-First Sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. took the stand.
On Wednesday, it was Ivanka’s turn to testify in person after several unsuccessful attempts to get out of it by pleading “undue hardship.”
Now that the prosecution has wrapped up, Trump’s team will present a defense next week, but Trump has kept up his barrage on social media.
That barrage included several posts on Truth Social in which he “re-Truthed” supporters attacking the trial — one of which carried the dangerous suggestion that a “citizen’s arrest” be performed on the Judge and attorney general in response to a post from Trump containing familiar and false attacks on the trial:
I am the victim of a corrupt legal system that is being used by those surrounding Crooked Joe Biden, with his full knowledge & consent, to hurt, demean, and damage his Political Opponent, ME. A terrible precedent is being set, but so far, despite the vulgarity & viciousness of it all, it has driven my poll numbers to record numbers. You see, the American people are MUCH smarter than Crooked Joe! They see what is going on with a Corrupt & Racist New York State A.G., and a Trump Hating Puppet Judge willing to do her dirty work, even as it takes him, and his reputation, to new levels of low. They fully understand the Obama appointed, Radical Left D.C. Federal Judge, who refused to recuse, fully “gagged” me, and set a trial date THE DAY BEFORE “Super Tuesday,” the biggest & most powerful day in the Primaries. They get the fact that A.G. Garland and his boss, Lisa Monaco, sent their TOP DOJ lawyer to Manhattan to run the District Attorney’s “case” on me…And Much More. BUT WE WILL WIN!!!
One user re-posted by Trump wrote, “These prosecutions are all about Election Interference.”
Another took that idea a step further:
MY FANTASY 👇😁
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LITITIA JAMES AND JUDGE ENGORON PLACED UNDER CITIZENS ARREST FOR BLATANT ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND HARASSMENT.
Trump is under a narrow gag order that prevents him or his attorneys from attacking the judge’s staff, but promoting a suggestion like this could provoke — or be intended to provoke — further action.
