ABC Host Admits Trump ‘Hush Money’ Case Was Frivolous: ‘Why Is This Even Being Prosecuted?’

ABC News host Jon Karl appeared to admit that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “hush money” case against President-elect Donald Trump was frivolous and unnecessary while speaking at a Politics and Prose book event in Washington D.C. The ABC host stated that the charges against Trump were “tawdry,” at one point asking why the case was even being tried at all.

While Trump was criminally charged in four separate criminal cases — two of which were brought by the Biden Department of Justice — Bragg’s “hush money” case is the only one that ever made it to trial. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ laughable racketeering case against Trump and a number of key allies is dead as Willis is being investigated for numerous instances of impropriety, while U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case concerning the handling of classified documents earlier this year. Smith — who was unconstitutionally appointed according to Cannon’s ruling — opted to “wind down” his additional case against Trump over challenges to the 2020 election after the president elect’s victory in November.

On Friday, Karl spoke with Tim Heaphy, an author who recently penned a hyperbolic analysis of the January 6 Capitol protests at a D.C. bookstore. While discussing the criminal cases against Trump, he noted that Bragg’s case was convoluted and hard to follow for the general public. “Ultimately, the only criminal trial that happened related to the past and future president was the one in New York. A pretty complicated case involving payments that his fixer and lawyer made to a porn actress. Falsification of records, in and of itself wasn’t a felony,” he said, adding that Bragg needed to apply highly questionable legal theories in order to charge Trump with felonies. “I mean, you know, it’s a it’s a pretty complicated tawdry set of… And you think, that’s the thing he went on trial for?”

Karl then conceded that a “fair observer could look at that New York case and say, why is this even being prosecuted?”
