celebrated his father’s legal troubles in a video that went viral on social media. In the video, James is seen laughing and smiling as Trump Jr. is heard saying, \”We’ve got a couple of fake news lawyers here that are just incredible, that are just incredible. It’s a sad day for the rule of law in this country, but cheers, everybody!\”The video sparked backlash from Trump supporters and legal experts who accused James of unprofessional behavior and bias in her pursuit of legal action against the former president.Meanwhile, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been leading a separate criminal investigation into Trump and his business practices, including potential tax fraud and other financial crimes. Bragg, who took office in January 2022, has faced mounting pressure to bring charges against Trump as the 2024 election approaches.\”I’m not going to be bullied or intimidated into dropping this case. I was elected to serve the people of New York, not to protect the rich and powerful,\” Bragg said in a statement last month, responding to critics who accused him of dragging out the investigation for political reasons.Bragg has faced backlash from Trump allies and supporters who have accused him of conducting a politically motivated witch hunt against the former president. However, Bragg has vowed to follow the evidence where it leads and hold those responsible for any criminal wrongdoing accountable.President Biden is reportedly weighing whether to pardon James and Bragg, along with other high-profile Democrats who could face legal action under a second Trump administration. While Biden has not yet made a decision on the matter, sources close to the president say he is leaning towards granting pardons to protect his political allies from potential prosecution by Trump.In the final days of his presidency, Biden faces mounting pressure to take decisive action to protect his allies and fellow Democrats from retaliation by Trump. As the transition of power from Biden to Trump looms, the political landscape remains volatile, with tensions running high between the two parties. Biden’s decision on whether to pardon Trump’s political foes could have far-reaching implications for the future of American politics and the rule of law.
