Senator Tim Scott (R-SC ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union ” that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was guilty of trying to frame former President Donald Trump.
Anchor Dana Bash said, “ I do want to inquire about closing claims in the criminal prosecution in New York. They are set for Tuesday. The jury may provide a verdict later this week on 34 criminal charges. I know you ’ve criticized the prosecution and the prosecutor, but this scenario will finally be decided by 12 ordinary people. Do you have beliefs that the judge is going to give a good verdict? ”
Scott said, “ Well, there’s no crimes so I assume that they will actually find him innocent. The only people innocent in that court as DA Bragg, guilty of corrupting the righteousness program, guilty of not doing his work, and guilty of trying to frame an honest man. It’s actually the two break justice program that has so many Americans worried about fairness in our country. ”
Bash said, “ But just to be clear, you have faith in the judge system. and in particular once, these 12 regular Americans who are going to eventually decide? ”
Scott said, “ I know that 96 % is the number I’ve heard of the number of Democrats in that neighborhood of Manhattan. So I hope that they come to the right choice. I assume that he will be found honest. ”
