Donald Trump Attacks Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for Allegedly 'Hiding' and 'Disguising' Thousands of Documents Related to Hush Money Case

Former President Donald Trump took to his social media to attack the judge and district attorney involved in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
The GOP hopeful accused them of withholding documents from his legal team and not giving them enough time before he becomes the first former president in American history to stand trial on criminal charges, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Sunday, April 14, to claim that his lawyers were not given enough time to review evidence before the trial.
"Judge Juan Merchan, perhaps the most highly conflicted Judge in New York State history, only gave us a short period of time to read and study hundreds of thousands of pages of documents that DA Alvin Bragg illegally hid, disguised, and held back from us," Trump wrote to his 6.9 million followers. "Of course, and as the judge knows, we need far more time than that."
Trump also claimed Bragg was working in "close coordination" with President Joe Biden and the White House on the timing of the trial in an effort to hinder his presidential campaign.
"They could have started this Fake Biden Trial many years ago, not right in the middle of my campaign for President, and time would not be a problem," he wrote. "This is a blatant and unprecedented attack on Crooked Joe Biden's Political Opponent (who is leading in every poll!), done in close coordination with the White House, that cannot be allowed to go forward!"
The former president also vented about the Daniels hush money case against him at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
He told his supporters at the rally, "Two days from now, the entire world will witness the commencement of the very first Biden trial."
"I'm proud to do it for you," he told the crowd. "Have a good time watching, have a good time watching."
