“How do you indict an innocent man, a former highly successful president?” groans Trump in latest post comparing the Manhattan investigation to actions by a ‘Third World country’ — as the grand jury prepares to reconvene on Wednesday
- Donald Trump railed against the “third world” prosecution of him by the Manhattan District Attorney
- The grand jury convened Monday to hear from an additional witness
- The panel will reconvene Wednesday as Trump waits to see if he will be charged in the hush money case
Donald Trump said the Manhattan district attorney’s office is behaving like a “Third World country” by prosecuting a former president and presidential candidate.
The ex-president has been ranting against DA Alvin Bragg in recent weeks as the political world remains on the cutting edge over whether Trump will face charges over his alleged hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
The grand jury convened Monday and heard from an additional witness — former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.
Trump claimed earlier this month that he could be charged and arrested as early as last week, which turned out to be untrue, as sources told DailyMail.com that Bragg is struggling with his “weak case” in persuading the panel to file an indictment. to serve.

“How do you indict an innocent man, a former highly successful president who is now at the top of the polls, who tells every legal scholar and virtually every hater:
Don’t, there’s no case here?’ Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Tuesday.
He added, “This is what is happening in third world countries, which the US is sadly fast becoming!”
Former National Enquirer chief David Pecker left Manhattan courts Monday afternoon amid reports the grand jury had reconvened to hear from another witness in the Donald Trump hush money case.
The grand jury did not vote Monday on whether to indict the former president after hearing Pecker’s testimony — but is expected to convene again on Wednesday.
The grand jury broke cadence last week when Bragg told them not to come to the courthouse on Wednesday as protesters descended on New York City, Washington, D.C. and Mar-a-Lago. This left the police on high alert, with all 36,000 NYPD officers in uniform and on standby for deployment should any unrest arise.
Trump told his supporters to “protest, protest, protest” against his possible indictment and this week warned there would be “death and destruction” if he is eventually charged.

Pecker, who was photographed by DailyMail.com leaning forward in the back of a car leaving the courthouse on Monday, was involved in the 2016 presidential election controversy when he bought exclusive rights to stories that could harm Trump’s campaign .
The grand jury will convene again on Wednesday as Trump still waits in Florida to see if he should come back to the city he called home for decades to be impeached.
The ex-president sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Sunday for an extended interview — the day after his first 2024 mega rally in Waco, Texas.
As he continues to brag to his polls — even while under investigation — Trump is making Ron DeSantis his number one target in the 2024 presidential election as Florida’s governor emerges as his main competitor, despite not yet officially announcing that he is a candidate.
During his Waco campaign, Trump got crickets when he began his criticism of the highly popular governor, prompting him to quickly change the subject.
