Trump highlighted specific prosecutors and\u2063 criticized their roles in his trials, \u2064emphasizing conflicts of interest. Legal actions, \u200bincluding gag \u2064orders, were taken in response to Trump&#8217;s \u2063comments about these prosecutors.\u2063 Additionally, Trump addressed Mark Pomerantz&#8217;s involvement, suggesting political biases and corruption.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> railed against officials working behind the scenes on the criminal cases against him this week, claiming they were deputies of President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> who were attempting to interfere with the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, the presumptive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Republican<\/a> presidential nominee, has repeatedly looked to these officials, who have lesser-known names but heavy involvement in his cases, to highlight their partisan affiliations as incentives to help Biden win reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Trump did this Monday at a press conference by naming two New York officials who are or were involved with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fed-prosecution-will-disrupt-other-trump-cases-ny-attorney-general-predicts\/\" title=\"NY Attorney General predicts Fed prosecution will disrupt other Trump cases.\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-attorney-may-be-limited-in-defense-after-texts-with-stormy-daniels-handed-over-to-da-report\/\" title=\"Trump attorney may be limited in defense after texts with Stormy Daniels handed over to DA: Report\">hush-money case<\/a> brought<\/a> by Manhattan District Alvin Bragg, and Trump has frequently accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis\u2019s office of coordinating with the White House as well.<\/p>\n<p>Trump emphasized his concerns about Matthew Colangelo, a lead prosecutor in the hush-money case whom Bragg hand-picked from the Department of Justice in 2022 to work on, according to Bragg, the \u201cmost sensitive and high-profile white-collar investigations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember this. Colangelo was a DOJ guy. He\u2019s a Biden DOJ guy,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWhy is he in the Manhattan DA\u2019s office trying the case? That in itself is a conflict. He\u2019s in the Manhattan DA\u2019s office trying the case. I mean, that\u2019s called a conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bragg did not hire Colangelo for his white-collar prosecutorial experience, which was lacking at the time he joined Bragg\u2019s office. Rather, Bragg valued Colangelo\u2019s \u201cbroad knowledge\u201d of the Trump Organization, according to a <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/05\/nyregion\/alvin-bragg-trump-investigation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>report<\/a> published at the end of 2022, during the same time frame that Bragg was seeking to ramp up his prosecution efforts against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Before his most recent stint at the DOJ, Colangelo had worked for Attorney General Letitia James, who investigated Trump for three years before bringing a massive civil lawsuit against Trump and the Trump Organization in the fall of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>During his time in James\u2019s office, Colangelo was involved in Trump\u2019s civil case and also led federal initiatives, which involved, at the time, filing lawsuits against the Trump administration, as well as investigating the Trump Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Trump observed that Colangelo was present during a hearing on Monday when Judge Juan Merchan set the trial in the case to begin April 15.<\/p>\n<p>Colangelo has been \u201csitting in the background for the last year. Today he went right up front because they figure he buffaloed the whole public. \u2026 Colangelo from the DOJ was put there to go after Trump, and today he stood up and he took over the whole office. He\u2019s been running the whole thing,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how you can have a trial like this in the middle of an election, the presidential election, and this is, again, this is a Biden trial. These are all Biden trials because Colangelo worked for Biden,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cCan you imagine they take a guy out of DOJ, and they put him into the attorney general\u2019s office and then into the Manhattan DA\u2019s office To go after Trump?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, one day after Trump\u2019s remarks, Merchan issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nycourts.gov\/LegacyPDFS\/press\/PDFs\/PeopleDJT-DecOrderExtrajudicial.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>gag order<\/a> that prohibited Trump from publicly speaking about Bragg\u2019s prosecutors, including Colangelo. Trump will now likely face repercussions, such as fines, if he voices his concerns about Colangelo in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also targeted Mark Pomerantz, who was working pro bono in the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office and eager to prosecute Trump before Bragg took over the office. Bragg was initially hesitant to bring charges against Trump, leading Pomerantz to resign in early 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Pomerantz has been highly public about his exit from the office and has vividly detailed his grievances with the former president in his resignation letter to Bragg, media appearances, and a book he authored called\u00a0<em>People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account<\/em>. Some have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/trump-charges-follow-criticism-manhattan-prosecutor-not-acting-sooner-2023-03-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>speculated<\/a> that Bragg revived charges against Trump partly as a result of public pressure created by Pomerantz.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said Pomerantz was an example of \u201ctremendous corruption\u201d in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-big-problem-with-the-stormy-daniels-hush-money-case-against-trump\/\" title=\"The Big Problem With The Stormy Daniels Hush Money Case Against Trump\">hush money case<\/a> and that he was \u201cHillary Clinton\u2019s lawyer or Democrat National Committee\u2019s lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe walked in and he took over the district attorney\u2019s office \u2014 nobody\u2019s ever seen things like that \u2014 to prosecute Trump, and then they wouldn\u2019t do what he wanted to do, and then he goes out and he writes a book long before any decisions were made,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Pomerantz, who has donated to Democrats, previously worked at\u00a0the law firm Paul,\u00a0Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &#038; Garrison, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globallegalpost.com\/news\/paul-weiss-rolls-out-red-carpet-for-clinton-7695063\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"hosted\">hosted<\/a> a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton during her campaign against Trump in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also repeatedly accused Willis, who is leading an election interference case against Trump in Georgia, of working in coordination with the White House. He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/11\/us\/trump-biden-fani-willis-nathan-wade.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>cited<\/a> communication she and her now-former special prosecutor Nathan Wade had with White House officials and Jan. 6 committee members in Congress related to the case.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2024\/03\/04\/donald-trump-excoriates-fani-williss-office-jeff-disantis-hire-total-coordination-white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>elevated<\/a> a report published by <em>Breitbart News<\/em> in which anonymous sources accused one of Willis\u2019s top deputies, Jeff DiSantis, of working in her office as a \u201cBiden plant\u201d who was \u201cthe one pulling all the strings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DiSantis did not respond to a request for comment on the accusation.<\/p>\n<p>DiSantis has been involved in Democratic politics for roughly three decades.
