Former National Security Adviser John Bolton, a long-time critic of former President Donald Trump, predicted Tuesday the “thin” case of falsifying business records would be dismissed.
“I’m extraordinarily distressed by this document,” Bolton told CNN host Anderson Cooper and other panelists. “I think this is even weaker than I feared. It would be, uh and I think it’s easily subject to being dismissed or a quick acquittal for Trump.”
Trump surrendered Tuesday to be arraigned on the charges, and pled not guilty on all counts during his appearance in court. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg secured a grand jury indictment against Trump Thursday in a case centered around a $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, during Trump’s successful run for the White House.
