Former President Donald Trump recently spoke against the Stormy Daniels hush money case on his way into court — as a reporter screamed “Are you going to get bail?” and asked about posting a bond — potentially a reference to the $465M fraud appeal bond via Mediaite.
Reporters had been waiting Monday for Trump to appear in court before Judge Juan Merchan for a hearing in the case that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has brought involving hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, which resulted in a several-dozen-count indictment of Trump.
As Trump entered the courthouse, he gave very brief remarks to reporters — who screamed at him about being given bail and whether he would post a bond today:
REPORTER: Mr. Trump, Are you posting bail today? Are you getting a bond?
DONALD TRUMP: Thank you very much everybody.
REPORTER: Are you getting a bond today?
DONALD TRUMP: This is a witch hunt. This is a witch hunt. It’s a hoax. Thank you.
Trump spent the morning bombarding Truth Social with posts about the fraud bond, including one post in which he called his properties his “babies” and repeated his debunked attack that President Joe Biden is directing the cases against him:
Crooked Pols!!! There should be no FINE. Did nothing wrong! Why should I be forced to sell my “babies” because a CORRUPT NEW YORK JUDGE & A.G. SET A FAKE AND RIDICULOUS NUMBER. “TAKE HIS CASH SO THAT HE CAN’T USE IT TO DEFEAT HIS POLITICAL OPPONENT, CROOKED JOE BIDEN.” ELECTION INTERFERENCE, ALL HEADED UP BY THE WHITE HOUSE – THIS INCLUDES FANI AND THE CORRUPT MANHATTAN D.A. BRAGG ADMITTED THERE WAS NO CRIME, WAS MORTIFIED BY WHAT MARK POMERANCE DID – AND HE SHOULD BE. WITCH HUNT!
