Trump Suggests Manhattan DA’s Office ‘Dropped’ Case Against Him

Former President Donald Trump is now suggesting Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg may have dropped his case against him, about a week after he claimed he would be arrested.

After a rally in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, Trump told reporters on his plane, “I think they’ve already dropped the case … they have absolutely nothing.” Trump did not provide evidence for his assertion Saturday.

“It’s a fake case. Some fake cases, they have absolutely nothing,” the former president said. Trump also reiterated his criticism of Michael Cohen, a former Trump lawyer who has testified against him in the Manhattan grand jury case and previously served time in federal prison on tax fraud and other charges.

Trump also denied mainstream media reports that suggested he was trying to incite violence with his Truth Social posts that criticized Bragg’s investigation: “No, I don’t like violence and I’m not for violence. But a lot of people are upset.”

On Truth Social, the former president made a similar statement regarding his belief Bragg’s case is “DEAD.” He wrote that the “Witch Hunt against me is DEAD, no evidence at all, & it has been conclusively proven that I did nothing wrong.” He dismissed Cohen as a “disbarred lawyer & convicted Felon.”

Last week, an attorney in Trump’s circle, Robert Costello, told media outlets that he testified before the grand jury and sought to denigrate Cohen’s testimony against the 45th president in the investigation, which reportedly is connected to so-called hush money payments that were given to adult performer Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. A lawyer for Cohen, when reached for comment, declined to issue a statement, although Cohen told MSNBC last week that Costello never represented him and disputed his testimony.

Bragg’s office has not returned a request for comment, and The Epoch Times cannot verify the authenticity of Trump’s claims. Previous Epoch Times requests for comment from the DA’s office have gone unanswered.
