A ‘witch hunt’?
Like a mantra, the former president has not tired of insisting on his innocence and repeating that it is all about a politically motivated “witch hunt”, a claim that has permeated many of his most radical supporters.
Two weeks ago now, Trump assured that he could be arrested and asked his faithful acolytes, with little success in summoning, to come out to protest.
The former president said the information came to him from “illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly politicized Manhattan prosecutor’s office that has allowed new records to be set in violent crime and whose leader is financed by (businessman) George Soros.”
