Fox News host Laura Ingraham slams Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for his relentless pursuit of former President Trump, accusing him of ignoring real crime in New York City.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham has launched a scathing attack on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, accusing him of wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on a politically motivated witch hunt against former President Trump.
Speaking on "The Ingraham Angle," Ingraham questioned the true cost of Trump's trial, which she estimated could run into the tens of millions. She argued that every hour spent on this futile endeavor represented a missed opportunity to address the pressing crime problem that continues to plague New York City.
"Alvin Bragg's priority has never been to protect New Yorkers from criminals," Ingraham emphasized. "His sole focus has been to nail Donald Trump, no matter the cost or the consequences."
Ingraham pointed to a series of questionable decisions made by Bragg and his team, including the appointment of a conflicted judge who had previously represented Trump. She accused the prosecutors of distorting the law and compromising their own credibility in their desperate attempt to convict the former president.
"The only thing that this trial has proven beyond a reasonable doubt is that conflicted judges who partner with politically motivated prosecutors are a menace to justice," Ingraham declared. "They're perverters of the rule of law."
Ingraham warned that Bragg's weaponized criminal justice system posed a grave threat to the fundamental principles of fairness and due process. She urged voters to recognize the danger and reject Bragg's misguided priorities.
"What's transpired in that dusty Manhattan courtroom these past four weeks has been a complete and total farce akin to the show trials of the most vicious Soviet dictators," Ingraham concluded. "It's a disgrace to our city and an insult to the rule of law."
Ingraham's criticism echoes growing concerns over Bragg's handling of crime in New York City. Since taking office, Bragg has faced accusations of being overly lenient on criminals, leading to a rise in certain types of crime.
The fallout from the Trump trial is likely to further damage Bragg's reputation and credibility. His relentless pursuit of a politically charged case has come at a steep cost to the taxpayers of New York and has exposed the deep flaws in his approach to criminal justice.
