Manchin makes plea to DA Bragg after Trump indictment: ‘Remove all doubt’
Jessica Chasmar
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said Sunday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg must "remove all doubt" in the American judicial process after a grand jury voted Thursday to indict former President Trump following the DA’s years-long investigation.
During an appearance on CNN’s "State of the Union," Manchin argued that the indictment risks further dividing Americans and battering their trust in the justice system.
"It's a very sad time for America to go through what we're going through now," he said. "People are being divided, and they think that justice might be biased. We have to make sure that we wait to see what comes out next week, and I hope they do their job. And I’ve said this, no one's above the law, but no one should be targeted by the law, especially through the political process. So we'll just wait and see next week. I hope they are very thorough."
CNN anchor Dana Bash asked Manchin to clarify whether he thinks Trump, who is the current front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential race, is being targeted by Bragg for political reasons.
