Before heading into the courthouse Friday, Donald Trump read recent quotes and op-eds from analysts and reporters supporting Trump’s claim that DA Alvin Bragg has no case.
Trump reiterated several times that he had to be careful because of the gag order.
“If I mention the wrong word, they’ll come out here and they’ll take me out to the jail someplace because that’s the way it is with this judge,” Trump complained.
“They think they’re going to get away with this. If this country allows them to get away with this gag order and the way the case is being handled, like what they’re doing yesterday was incredible. It was incredible what they did. This trial was so horrible. It’s no longer justice and it’s a tremendous abuse of the New York judicial system,” Trumps said.
“In particular, the New York judicial system has been absolutely abused and abused terribly. And it’s the whole world is watching this very hard. So I’ll now go and sit in that freezing cold courtroom for 8 or 9 hours and think about being on the campaign.”
