During an appearance on Fox News, Will Scharf, an attorney representing Donald Trump, hinted at the possibility of the former president filing a lawsuit against Alvin Bragg, the Democratic Manhattan District Attorney, for what he referred to as “malicious prosecution.” Scharf’s statement came in response to a query by host Dana Perino regarding potential actions Trump’s legal team might take if he were to be acquitted. Scharf indicated that they would need to assess their legal options, implying that the district attorney could be a potential target.
“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.”
