Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who competed against Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, said Saturday that he believes the indictment of the former president is politically motivated.
"Bragg's predecessor didn't take up the case," Bush wrote on Twitter. "The Justice Department didn't take up the case. Bragg first said he would not take up the case. This is very political, not a matter of justice. In this case, let the jury be the voters."
A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former President Trump earlier this week over his alleged role in a payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016, making him the first former president to face criminal charges.
