resident Donald Trump launched a Thanksgivingrant on social media and lashed out at one of the prosecutors investigating allegations of misconduct, including tax fraud.
“The Manhattan DA Case should never have been brought,” the 45th president posted on Truth Social on Thursday, adding that it was a “total witch hunt”.
Mr Trump rued: “The DA’s ‘Star’ witness, who has been harassed and brutalised, and is scared beyond belief, has nevertheless totally confirmed our story and defence.”
“This case should be dismissed immediately, and the large, highly paid and ‘prestigious’ accounting firm that we relied on to do their job, but didn’t, should pay us a fortune in damages,” Mr Trump added, attacking the Mazars Group, which used to handle the accounting for his organisation.
In another post, Mr Trump said: “Give me freedom or give me death.”
The one-time president’s real estate company began mounting a defence earlier this week in its criminal trial on charges including tax fraud after the prosecution rested its case.
