greetings everyone, you are watching symone. former president donald trum indicted by a grand jury o tuesday. he will be formally charged an fingerprinted. it s the first in american history. we are digging into why there a debate over whether president, former current should be hel to the same legal standards as you and i. and in true trump fashion, h is lashing out district attorney alvin brag and his staff, even the judg in the case. targets of attacks on social media and we re talking to reverend al sharpton, a man wh knows all about donald trump s history in new york. last republicans, while they are falling in line. the former vice president elec the leaders, even people trump could be riding against in the 2020 primary all defending donald, trum right now. before we even know the charge or the evidence. i am symone sanders-townsend and i have something to say. no one is above the law. it is not just a slogan, it an american principle that i supposed to guide the ju
above seder plate, defense attorneys with why is this trial not like any other exactly. but for any number of reasons, number one, the defendant has multiple attorneys who can handle the hearing. number two, the judge has made an accommodation by cutting court a little bit earlier that day look, there s many reasons why they re going to have bases to appeal later on down the road. passover is not gonna be one. no, i got it 99 problems, but passover one as has been said by no one let me just do while we re waiting for mr. trump to come out and we re told that he is he s on his way just a little thing about juror number ten, who we haven t discussed, elliott, he works for for retailer, says he doesn t really follow the news again, tofu, he does in your words, he does, however, listened to podcasts on behavioral psychology it s my little hobby there. he said during jury selection, he was born and raised in ohio, is unmarried, lives with another adult roommate he loves to spend
Going forward and i based on the differences, the president, i still have over my constitutional duties on january 6, but also as you said based upon how i see the president s shying away from our commitment as leader of the free world, being prepared to ignore the national debt. now, even walking away from a commitment to the right to life at the national level. i just made it clear that i will not be endorsing donald trump in this campaign? but i ll keep my vote on my own and all of allah, all vote according to my conscience in private, just like every american will before you go, i do have to ask you about donald trump s criminal hush money trial, which is underway right now in new york, you ve blasted the case that the district attorney alvin bragg has brought saying it s quote, nothing short of a political prosecution being affected by in manhattan da, who literally campaigned on bringing charges against one particular american unquote. surely you can t think it s okay to falsify
At us that they were force into confessions they ended up being right. fine, maybe he got it wrong, maybe he bullied the da. when they were exonerated by the end a evidence, you just played the clip. he said it was still wrong and that he refused to even accept scientific evidence. but now he is asking us to thi believe an indictment that w have not even heard or rea yet. we all know the charges, we have not seen the full evidenc that stuff we will see o tuesday. of some of the attacks tha have been leveled by donal trump and his allies against da, has been specifically about th fact that the da has decline to take on some lower leve charges. yet he is going after donald trump. now i know in january of 2022, once alvin bragg took office he issued a memo that talked about the kinds of charges tha he would not, they wouldn t go after anymore. they are jumping, is that what
give the presidents a money to fight this blank. this is going to destroy america. it s a political prosecutio by in manhattan da who literally campaigned for offic on a pledge to indict th former president the district attorney alvin bragg was never out to get the former president as so many of trump s defenders what have yo believe. when it bragged took office, h determined that a three-year probe into trump s busines dealings did not have hard enough evidence to pursue an indictment against him this prompted outrage from trump s critics and even let prosecutors of the a brags o office to resign with one calling it a quot brave failure of justice trump s incessant cries of which hunt, i think they represent exactly the kind o disinformation that we hav come to expect from the former president. those determined to stand by him. people, this indictment is not trump s downfall and, fact this is when donal trump s rhetoric is that i
