Trump says prosecutors have 'a lot' going for them in criminal case as trial nears its end
Donald Trump Sunday evening complained about his criminal defense in the hush money cover-up case in New York, as closing arguments loom and the trial nears its conclusion.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case, where he stands accused of falsifying business records in order to hide payments to an adult film star. The payments were allegedly made to quiet Stormy Daniels about a brief affair between the two as a means to impact the 2016 election.
As closing arguments get closer, Trump took to Truth Social to lash out at the prosecution and Judge Juan Merchan.

"In addition to the fact that I did nothing wrong, NDA’s are totally legal and commonly used, and that virtually every legal Scholar and Expert says, in written form, that this is a case which has NO MERIT and should not have been brought, my lawyers have informed me that the highly Conflicted and Corrupt Judge, Juan Merchan, will not allow RELIANCE ON COUNSEL, which virtually everyone is allowed to use, as an additional, though not needed because I did NOTHING WRONG, Defense," Trump wrote. "This 'Case,' which could have been brought seven years ago but wasn’t because it has no merit, is a disgrace."
He added, "It was only begun to interfere with Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. RELIANCE ON COUNSEL. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
Trump continued in a separate post, mentioning the prosecutor.
"Can anyone believe that Soros backed D.A., Alvin Bragg, was able to get a DELAY of 7 days to his Corrupt and Unconstitutional Case against me, with no sequester? Legal Expense = Legal Expense!" Trump said Sunday. "The only thing Bragg has going for him is the Corrupt and highly Conflicted Judge - Which is a lot!!!"
