Judge Judy Sheindlin has recently expressed her disapproval of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution of former President Trump, labeling the case as 'nonsense.' She criticized Bragg for allegedly using the legal system for personal gain, stating that as a taxpayer, she resents such actions.
During an interview, Sheindlin highlighted her belief that the prosecution had to contort the facts to find a crime, indicating her skepticism towards the charges brought against Trump. The former President was convicted on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in connection to a payment made to Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign.
Sheindlin, known for her no-nonsense approach on television, emphasized her preference for the District Attorney to focus on addressing more pressing criminal issues in Manhattan, such as enhancing public safety and reducing street crime, rather than pursuing what she deemed as a wasteful and costly trial against Trump.
Regarding Trump's business acumen and television persona, Sheindlin acknowledged his success but expressed strong reservations about his presidency. She firmly stated her belief that Trump was ill-suited for the role of President and questioned his own expectations of assuming the position.
As a political independent who supported Nikki Haley in a past Republican primary, Sheindlin's remarks offer a unique perspective on Trump's legal troubles and political career. Her critique of the prosecution and assessment of Trump's presidency reflect a blend of legal insight and personal opinion.
