“Judge Judy” Sheindlin has reportedly called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) hush money investigation against former President Donald Trump “nonsense.”
“You gotta twist yourself into a pretzel to figure out what the crime was. [Bragg] doesn’t like him — New York City didn’t like him for a while.” Sheindlin told Chris Wallace during a recent interview.
“I would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney of New York County would take care of criminals who were making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway, to use his efforts to keep those people off the street, than to spend $5 million or $10 million of taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense,” she continued.
Last month, a jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business documents during his 2016 campaign to conceal alleged affairs.
Trump is the first former president of the United States to be convicted of a felony.
Sheindlin, who supported previous Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley in January, was less favorable when Wallace grilled her on Trump’s stint in the White House.
“I don’t think that Donald ever should have been president, and I don’t think that even Donald thought he was going to be president.” she said.
