The world will soon witness a historic moment as former U.S. President Donald Trump reports to court for the start of a criminal trial. Jury selection is due to begin next week in Trump’s hush money case, where he is accused of falsifying business records to hide payments to a porn star during the 2016 presidential campaign.
While Trump is subject to a New York gag order, his allies are stepping up their attacks on prosecutors investigating the former president. The online documentary “Chasing Trump” is set to be released on April 17, two days after the court in New York will have begun jury selection.
The filmmakers aim to expose the backgrounds of the prosecutors involved in the four cases against Trump, including Manhattan district attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Fani Willis, Special Counsel John Smith, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.The documentary argues that Trump is being punished for taking on the status quo and echoes his constant refrain that he is subject to a witch hunt.
Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, said: “These four prosecutions against President Trump are nothing more than partisan political activism masquerading as the rule of law.”“Chasing Trump” is the first in a series produced by the conservative website American Greatness, aiming to shock anyone who believed the legal system was free from partisan political considerations.
The documentary is one of the ways Trump’s allies are taking up the argument on his behalf, exposing the leftwing prosecutors behind these cases as puppets for Joe Biden and his political machine.
