According to Mediaite, former President Donald Trump has intensified his attacks on Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James over the ongoing fraud trial, which is now entering its final phase. Trump, a central figure in the trial, took to Truth Social, a platform he co-founded, to “re-Truth” supporters’ posts that criticized the trial. One particularly alarming post suggested the idea of a “citizen’s arrest” for both the judge and the attorney general.
In a series of posts, Trump continued to assert that he is the victim of a corrupt legal system orchestrated by individuals aligned with President Joe Biden. He claimed that the trial is an attempt to hurt, demean, and damage him politically, emphasizing the alleged corruption and racism within the New York State Attorney General’s office. Trump also accused Judge Engoron of being a “Trump-hating puppet” willing to carry out the supposed agenda against him.
Despite being under a narrow gag order that restricts him and his legal team from attacking the judge’s staff, Trump’s posts on Truth Social appeared to push the boundaries of that restriction. One reposted message from a supporter fantasized about placing Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Engoron under “citizens arrest” for alleged election interference and harassment.
This provocative rhetoric, especially the suggestion of a citizen’s arrest, raises concerns about the potential impact on public sentiment and the perception of the trial’s fairness. The trial, initiated by Attorney General James, alleges fraud on the part of Trump and has featured testimony from Trump’s family members, including Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump.
As the trial enters its final phase, Trump’s social media activity may contribute to the heightened tension surrounding the legal proceedings. The posts not only challenge the impartiality of the judge and the attorney general but also introduce a concerning narrative that could potentially incite further action or unrest. The trial’s conclusion and the broader implications of Trump’s legal battles remain subjects of intense scrutiny and speculation.
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.
