This is shocking.
CNN political commentator Van Jones said that he would not be surprised if Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ends up not indicting Donald Trump.
CNN political commentator Van Jones said Monday that he would not be surprised if Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg held back on indicting former President Trump — arguing that the prosecutor should wait for the former president to be slapped with more serious charges.
“I think that the heat is on this DA, I think he’s going to make a very sober decision and I would not be surprised if he doesn’t step back from the brink,” Jones said on CNN Monday night.
That “heat” comes after Trump claimed over the weekend that he would be arrested amid the Manhattan DA’s probe into hush-money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump and his allies have publicly attacked Bragg, a Democrat, for the possible indictment, saying it would be politically motivated.
Republicans have rallied around Donald Trump.
GOP Senator Rand Paul went as far as to call for the DA to be put in jail if he goes ahead with the indictment.
Amidst the speculation surrounding former President Trump’s potential indictment, Senator Rand Paul has called for the arrest of New York Attorney General Alvin Bragg, who is leading the indictment proceedings.
“A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail,” the Republican tweeted.
Paul joins the voices of many who have slammed the indictment as a witch hunt and nothing more than a political ploy to smear Trump’s 2024 campaign. However, many believe that if Trump is to be arrested, it will only garner more support for his cause, as seen in the latest polls.
Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. Paul has also defended Trump against his critics, including during the impeachment proceedings in 2019 and 2021.
