Even The Washington Post has its doubts about DA Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump.
According to a report from Just The News, Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus wants Trump to be found guilty more than anyone —but is also quick to criticize Bragg for his flimsy case.
From Just The News:
In an opinion article Tuesday titled, “The Trump indictment is a dangerous leap on the highest of wires,” Marcus said the indictment unsealed after Trump’s arraignment earlier that day “is disturbingly unilluminating, and the theory on which it rests is debatable at best, unnervingly flimsy at worst.”
Though Marcus said she hopes prosecutors will win the case against Trump, she also said, “[T]he fears I had in the weeks leading up to the indictment about the strength of the case against Trump were in no way allayed by Tuesday’s developments.”
She also said the indictment and the district attorney’s underlying facts presented in the case “offers almost nothing in the way of new evidence against Trump.”
Members from both ends of the political spectrum have been unimpressed with Bragg’s case and worry it may backfire, emboldening Trump and his base heading into 2024.
