TV star “Judge Judy” Sheindlin criticized New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg for prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
“I would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney [Alvin Bragg] of New York County would take care of criminals who are making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway,” the judge said during an appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” this week.
The judge said she wished he would put effort towards keeping people “off the street,” rather than money prosecuting Trump.
“To use those efforts to keep those people off the street, than to spend $5 million or $10 million taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense,” she added. “That’s my view.”
“I, as a taxpayer in this country, resent using the system for your own personal self-aggrandizement,” the judge continued. “You have to twist yourself in a pretzel to figure out what the crime was. He [Bragg] doesn’t like him [Trump]. New York City didn’t like him [Trump] for a while.”
