- Donald Trump on Monday night accused the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, of having ‘illegally leaked’ the ‘pathetic Indictment against me’
- A source within Bragg’s office described the indictment to Michael Isikoff, a reporter at Yahoo News
- Isikoff reported that Trump will be charged with 34 felonies, but will not be handcuffed or have his mugshot taken: Trump said Isikoff should be charged
A furious Donald Trump erupted on Monday night after details of his indictment were leaked ‘illegally’ – and he demanded Manhattan’s district attorney resign as a result.
Trump, who is staying at Trump Tower in New York City ahead of today’s historic arraignment, called for DA Alvin Bragg to prosecute himself after he allegedly handed the indictment plans to Yahoo journalist Michael Isikoff – who Trump also attacked.
The new report claims that Trump will face a total of 34 felonies tomorrow. It also described details the charges – which will be officially unsealed on Tuesday. Some of its contents were previously known, but Trump used it as a vehicle to once again blast the historic criminal charges that required him to fly to his former hometown to surrender to authorities.
Trump, 76, will not be subjected to taking a mugshot, nor will he be handcuffed or be placed in a jail cell after his court hearing, Yahoo reports.
In his damning post, the former president wrote on his Truth Social: ‘Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me. I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he.
