Ted Cruz: Trump Indictment Is ‘Political Persecution’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "Yeah, listen, the long and short of it is this indictment, if it comes this week, is absolutely outrageous. It is frivolous, it is baseless, it is a political persecution. It is not a prosecution. It is targeting Donald Trump because Alvin Bragg is a left-wing Democrat who hates Donald Trump. And legally, this case is absurd on its face. Now, it’s all based on two New York statutes that concern business records, the kind of records you keep in your business. One makes it a misdemeanor to create a false or fraudulent business record. In this instance, what Bragg is trying to argue is that when Trump gave $130,000 to Michael Cohen, who allegedly paid it to Stormy Daniels as hush money, and he characterized that as legal fees, that that business record was false and bogus. Now, he’s got a problem with that theory, which is, under New York state law, that’s only a misdemeanor. That has a two-year statute of limitations so you can’t even bring this claim now.”
