Donald Trump is doubling down on his claim that he was the target of an assassination attempt.
Donald Trump is now looping his baseless conspiracies into his fundraising emails.
On Monday, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee escalated his claims that President Joe Biden authorized the FBI to shoot and kill him during its 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, this time promising to punish his two-time opponent for the alleged assassination attempt.
“Biden’s day of reckoning is coming,” the Trump campaign wrote in a fundraising email distributed Monday. “He tried to publicly torture and humiliate me … but he failed. He tried to raid my home and take me out with deadly force … but he failed.”
It’s not just because he was President. The standard sentencing is a fine. Merchan has room to sentence prison, but needs to have a strong justification. Otherwise it’ll just be used as argument for bias in the appeal hearing.
I don’t know the legal standard to which such a decision would be held, but it seems like it’s pretty justifiable at this point.
