Trump attorney Will Scharf suggested on Fox News Thursday that former president Donald Trump may sue Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for “malicious prosecution.”
Scharf made the remark in response to a question by host Dana Perino about whether Trump’s team would take action against Judge Juan Merchan if the former president is acquitted. Scharf said the team would “have to consider our legal options at that point,” suggesting another potential target: the district attorney.
“But, I think the case for malicious prosecution here is extraordinarily strong,” Scharf said. “I mean, this is not a case that would have been brought against any defendant not named Donald Trump and any defendant who, frankly, wasn’t running for president.”
