Following his ‘unconditional discharge’ in the hush money case on January 10, US President-elect Donald Trump came down heavily on “Radical Democrats”, criticising the investigation, which he claims involved extensive time and resources and further denouncing it as an “another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt”.
Taking to the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that this effort should have been focused on issues such as crime in New York City and the State.
He also referenced the coordination between the current Biden-Harris administration and what he described as the “Weaponisation” of the Justice Department.
Trump said that the charges against him were “baseless, illegal, and fake,” and pointed to the “unconditional discharge” he received as evidence that there was no merit to the case.
“The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt. After spending tens of millions of dollars, wasting over 6 years of obsessive work that should have been spent on protecting New Yorkers from violent, rampant crime that is destroying the City and State, coordinating with the Biden/Harris Department of Injustice in lawless Weaponisation, and bringing completely baseless, illegal, and fake charges against your 45th and 47th President, ME, I was given an UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE,” Trump said.
Earlier on January 10, Judge Juan Merchan sentenced an ‘unconditional discharge’ to President-elect Trump, because of which he won’t be facing any jail time or penalties in the hush money case.
The sentencing, which was expected, means Trump will remain a felon but face no jail time, penalties or probation for his conviction in the hush money case.
In his post, he further emphasised his re-election as proof that the American people had made their decision, claiming a “mandate” in what he called one of the most important elections in US history and criticised the legal proceedings, citing a “conflicted” judge, a key witness with a troubled legal history, and alleged election interference.
