Trump Denounces New York Legal System as 'Corrupt' Following DOJ's Dropping of Bribery Case Against NYC Mayor

President Trump criticized New York judges and politicians, alleging politically motivated 'lawfare' and addressing his ongoing legal battles in the state.

The Department of Justice directed Manhattan prosecutors to dismiss a bribery case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a move that Trump did not directly address but coincided with his comments.
Trump labeled New York as 'the most corrupt state in the Union,' claiming its legal system is driving businesses and residents away.
He criticized the valuation of his Mar-a-Lago property in a fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, asserting its worth is far higher than stated in court.
Trump reiterated his claims of unfair treatment in legal cases, including the defamation and sexual assault case involving E. Jean Carroll and the hush money case related to Stormy Daniels.
The president expressed hope for appellate court rulings in his favor, while continuing to frame his legal challenges as politically motivated attacks.
