‘Zero Evidence’: CNN Immediately Fact Checks Trump’s Latest Rant Citing Fox News Legal Analysts
Trump: “Every legal expert, Andy McCarthy — Jonathan, Andy, every single one. Jonathan Turley came out with a scathing report of this trial today. Andy McCarthy, scathing report. Mark Levin, can’t believe this is happening in our country. There’s no case here. There’s no case whatsoever. It’s a disgrace. And we have a conflicted judge and it shouldn’t be happening, not in this country. Thank you very much.”
Reporter: “Do you think you could beat Biden in a debate?”
Reporter 2: “What do you think of witnesses so far?”
TAPPER: “All right, Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States and the defendant in this case talking after a full week of court. Let’s bring in CNN’s Daniel Dale, our fact checker, who’s looking into everything we just heard from the former president, most of which was criticizing the trial and telling the world that he’s ready to debate President Biden whenever, wherever it can happen. Daniel?”
Dale: “Fair enough. He said something that we fact checked, I think, five times in the last couple of weeks. He said, this is a Biden indictment. It’s a well-coordinated attack coming out of Washington, completely baseless, zero evidence whatsoever. This is an indictment approved by a grand jury of New York citizens. There is no basis for any claim that President Biden had a personal role in it. The prosecutor behind it is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who’s a locally elected official, does not report to the federal government. Now, former President Trump has repeatedly cited the fact that a former DoJ official went over to work for Bragg. That’s Matthew Colangelo, who you’ve been talking about, zero evidence that President Biden had any role in that personal employment decision. Colangelo and Bragg were former colleagues in the state attorney general’s office. I think it’s also worth noting, Jake, that when former President Trump says every legal expert thinks this case is a sham, and so on, the people he named today, he named Mark Levin, who, yes, talks about the law. He’s also a right-wing radio host who’s a frequent defender of Donald Trump. Andy McCarthy sometimes criticizes Trump, but is also a conservative commentator. Jonathan Turley, a professor who defended Trump in the impeachment context and other things. So, yes, there are even liberal professors, anti-Trump professors and so on who have questioned this case. But those names are the regular, the usual suspects defending Donald Trump. And then I’ll note he talked about Michigan being destroyed. No more auto jobs. I think some of that was a prediction, but it’s worth noting there are more auto manufacturing jobs today, more people employed in Michigan in that industry today than there were when Donald Trump left office.”
