Former President Donald Trump took advantage of the first rally of his 2024 presidential campaign to bash Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his probe against him.

At Waco Regional Airport in Texas, Trump said, "the district attorney of New York under the auspices and direction of the department of injustice in Washington, DC, is investigating me for something that is not a crime, not a misdemeanor, not an affair."

"This is really prosecutorial misconduct,” he continued, adding, “The innocence of people makes no difference to these radical left maniacs.”

He further slammed President Joe Biden's administration for exploiting the justice system as a weapon out of the 'Stalinist Russia horror show'.

"For seven years, you and I have been taking on the corrupt, rotten, sinister forces trying to destroy America," he said. "The Biden regime’s weaponization of our system of justice is straight out of the Stalinist Russia horror show."

The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is currently investigating Trump for a $130,000 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. According to the New York Times, the investigative invitation of Trump by Bragg could mean the first-ever indictment of a former US President with a criminal charge.

Bragg has yet to confirm his plans to indict the former president. He, however, indicated that prosecutors are close to reaching a decision by putting key witnesses in front of a grand jury while offering Trump the opportunity to testify. 

In light of that, Trump expected that he would be "arrested" on Tuesday and called on his supporters to "protest, take our nation back!"

Trump issued a statement on social media last week accusing Bragg of receiving more than 1 million dollars from businessman George Soros. He also accused him of having close ties to Hillary Clinton.
