With Trump’s trial scheduled to start Monday, here is a fact check of some of Trump’s remarks. Trump’s baseless claims that Biden is secretly running the caseTrump has repeatedly claimed that the Manhattan case has been secretly orchestrated by President Joe Biden, Biden’s White House or the Biden-era federal Justice Department. Third, there is no basis for the claim that Colangelo oversees Bragg; Bragg is Colangelo’s boss. Facts First: Trump’s claims are not even close to true; Manhattan, like New York City as a whole, is nowhere near record highs for murder or violent crime more broadly. They want to take away my constitutional right to talk.”Facts First: Trump’s claims are exaggerations.

An image appearing to show billionaire George Soros seated at a table in the background of a photograph of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is altered. The image shows DeSantis standing alongside pundit John Cardillo, with what appears to be Soros viewable in the background seated at a round table.

The altered image surfaced after DeSantis officially announced his bid for the White House on May 24 (here).
Donald Trump said on Monday evening that Alvin Bragg should "INDICT HIMSELF." District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me," Trump wrote on Monday. "Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF," added Trump. It is also unclear what information Trump was referring to when he wrote on Monday about "various points" and "complete information" being leaked. Representatives for Trump and the Manhattan district attorney's office did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.
Trump said Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is backed by the billionaire philanthropist George Soros. To be clear, there is no evidence that George Soros has donated to Bragg. "George Soros and Alvin Bragg have never met in person or spoken by telephone, email, Zoom etc.," Vachon told Insider via email. Neither George Soros nor Democracy PAC contributed to Alvin Bragg's campaign for Manhattan District Attorney." To the far right, Soros represents a member of that cabal, said Lorber, an analyst at Political Research Associates.
