A Manhattan grand jury on Thursday indicted former President Donald Trump over alleged payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Shortly after the announcement, Trump, who is running for the 2024 presidential elections, released a statement in which he accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of engaging in political persecution and election interference.

Trump’s statement claimed that the indictment was a part of the larger witch-hunt orchestrated by radical left Democrats who have been trying to destroy the Make America Great Again movement since he first announced his candidacy in 2016. He listed various allegations against the Democrats, including spying on his campaign, the Mueller investigation, and the Ukraine scandal.

Trump called the indictment an unprecedented act of election interference, stating that the Democrats have weaponized the justice system to punish a political opponent. He also accused DA Bragg of ignoring the crime wave in New York City and doing Joe Biden’s dirty work instead.

Trump’s statement further stated that the American people would see through the Democrats’ tactics and that his movement and party, united and strong, would defeat Bragg and Biden in the upcoming elections. He vowed to make America great again by removing all crooked Democrats from office.

“This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history,” Trump wrote. “From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats – the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country – have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.

“The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable – indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.

“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.

“Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time!

“I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he concluded.
