Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Jordan had sent a letter to Bragg\u2019s office saying, \u201cin light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDear Mr. Bragg,\u201d the letter began. \u201cYou are about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office. This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis \u2014 any basis \u2014 on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue. If these reports are accurate, your actions will\u00a0erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the court of the 2024 presidential election.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The possible indictment stems from an alleged $130,000 hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 over an alleged sexual encounter that the two had in 2006. His former attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to charges over the payment in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan noted that by July 2019, federal prosecutors determined that no additional people would be charged alongside Cohen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, in the words of one legal scholar, you are attempting to \u2018shoehorn\u2019 the same case with identical facts into a new prosecution, resurrecting a so-called \u2018zombie\u2019 case against President Trump,\u201d the letter said. \u201cEven the\u00a0<em>Washington Post\u00a0<\/em>quoted \u2018legal experts\u2019 as calling your actions \u2018unusual\u2019 because \u2018prosecutors have repeatedly examined the long-established details but decided not to pursue charges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has called for protests in the event of his arrest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>via The Gateway Pundit<\/p>\n<p>March 21, 2023 at 05:18PM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREAKING: Trump to Be
