The Political Persecution of President Trump

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

It all started with a leak to NBC News on Friday – law enforcement agencies are preparing for an indictment of former President Donald Trump over hush money payments he made to Stormy Daniels in 2016.

But over the weekend, the former president appeared to confirm the leak and provided even more information. In a Truth Social post, Donald Trump suggested that his indictment and arrest would occur this Tuesday. This rumor has not been confirmed, and Trump has not been officially indicted by a grand jury.

While reports, rumors, and speculation swirl, one thing is clear: an indictment of former President Trump would be an unprecedented, unjust political persecution using stretched "legal reasoning" that is roundly mocked.

If woke, George Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg continues his political witch hunt and vendetta against the former president, this will upend all political norms, and America will be a banana republic. 

Here at Townhall, we will continue to bring you the truth about this story as it develops. 

We will also continue to report about the double standard in our justice system that treats Republicans very differently from Democrats, and the radical DAs excusing and refusing to prosecute violent criminals while seeking to attack and persecute their political opponents.

Help us tell the truth about this political witchhunt and persecution.

Whether an indictment and arrest of Donald Trump will come this week, the next, or not at all, we will not give up the fight against leftist corruption and continue to expose Democrats' policies that are destroying our great country and freedom as we know it.
