Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has received death threats against him and his family following the indictment against President Donald Trump, released by a grand jury.
“Remember that we are everywhere and that we have weapons,” says one of the emails sent to the prosecutor.
Bragg and his family have received different types of threats, as well as attacks with racist and anti-Semitic expressions, due to the accusations that the electoral campaign of the prosecutor was financed by George Soros.
Former President Trump has publicly criticized Bragg, even calling him an “animal,” while warning there would be “death and destruction” if he was impeached.
The Republican’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, has not joined the insults that the former president has given against the prosecutor, but he has not criticized the matter either.
“I’m not your social media consultant,” Tacopina said in an interview on NBC News.
Former President Trump has also criticized Judge Juan Merchan, who will lead the judicial process starting this Tuesday, when the charges against the former president are read.
“He hates me,” Trump said, later recalling that he was the same person who led the legal process against the Trump Organization and the case against the former CFO of that corporation, Allen Weisselberg, who ultimately reached an agreement.
Attorney Tacopina did not believe that Judge Merchan is biased against Trump.
“No, I don’t think the judge is biased,” Tacopina said on ABC News.
This Monday, former President Trump travels from Florida to New York, and on Tuesday he will go to the District Court in Manhattan for the reading of the charges against him.
“Tuesday morning, believe it or not, I’m going to be in court. America should not be this way!” Trump said in a message on his Truth Social network.
