Summary

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

On Thursday evening, news broke that former President Donald Trump would be indicted for his role in allegedly providing hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Corinne Ramey and Joe Palazzolo of The Wall Street Journal write: “The substance of the charges aren’t public for now and are expected to remain sealed until Mr. Trump makes an initial appearance in court, likely on Tuesday afternoon. He is first expected to report to the district attorney’s office, where he will be arrested, fingerprinted and photographed.” According to claims made by Trump’s attorney, the former president will not accept any plea deal.

On Thursday night, in response to news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tweeted: “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.” In response to Pelosi’s preposterous claims of a “trial to prove innocence”, Twitter quickly fact checked the statement, citing Cornell Law School: “Ms. Pelosi mistakenly says that Trump can prove his innocence at trial. Law in the US assumes the innocence of a defendant and the prosecution must prove guilt for a conviction.”
Attorney Kate Shaw—Law Professor at Yeshica University & an expert on Constitutional Law—appeared on ABC News and seemingly questioned whether Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has jurisdiction to indict Donald Trump. Two-minutes into the interview, host George Stephanopoulos seemingly cut her off and immediately moved on from what she said.
While appearing on ABC News, Donald Trump’s Attorney Joe Tacopina condemned the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for bringing politically driven charges against the former president. Tacopina claimed the indictment is based upon “rumors and leaks.”
In his latest editorial for National Review, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew C. McCarthy writes: “Alvin Bragg, the elected progressive Democrat who ran for Manhattan district attorney as the candidate most likely to wield his power against Donald Trump, crossed the Rubicon on Thursday… If reports are to be believed, it is not merely an unworthy exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It is one that will threaten the legitimacy of the justice system—on the public acceptance of which the rule of law hinges.” You can read McCarthy’s full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/03/bragg-crosses-the-rubicon-indicting-trump-on-stormy-daniels-nonsense/
