Reality television court Judge Judy Sheindlin criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for using “taxpayers’ money” to prosecute former President Donald Trump instead of focusing on “criminals” in New York City.
On May 30, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in the first-degree concerning payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.

“But, I as a taxpayer in this country, resent using the system for your own personal self-aggrandizement,” Sheindlin continued.
When asked by Wallace if that was what Sheindlin thought Bragg had done in Manhattan, Sheindlin confirmed that was what she thought.
As Breitbart News has previously reported, the former president was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which is normally considered a misdemeanor. However, the statute of limitations had run out.
Bragg ended up prosecuting “the case as a felony by asserting that the alleged falsification of business records was done to cover up a federal crime,” even though the former president “has not been convicted of such a crime.”
“I think he was a good businessman, a real estate guy,” Sheindlin said when asked what she thought about the former president. “And, he was certainly terrific on The Apprentice,” she stated.
When asked what Sheindlin thought of Trump as president, she said she feels that Trump should not have been president, adding she thinks that even Trump did not think “he was going to be president.”
