He added, “Principles go beyond partisanship” and said the arrest of the 45th president would “mark a dark moment in American history and undermine public confidence in our electoral system itself.”
“I call on the Manhattan District Attorney to reconsider this action and set aside partisan politics in the service of preserving our constitutional republic,” he added.

FAIRYTALE, THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE BACK OUR NATION!
Citing a court source, Fox News’ Chris Pandolfo reported that Bragg’s office will “meet with law enforcement to” discuss logistics for some time next week, which would mean they anticipate an indictment this week. next “.”
