White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned ‘any attacks’ on judges on Wednesday (April 5), following criticism of the charges facing former president Donald Trump.
The office of Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, charged Trump on Tuesday (April 4) with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over allegations that he orchestrated payments to two women before the 2016 election to suppress publication of their sexual encounters with him.
Trump over the years has complained that law enforcement at the national and state level were targeting him for political purposes, and his fellow Republicans in Congress have held hearings to examine what they describe as the “weaponization” of government.
