Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo offered a stinging rebuke of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s looming indictment of former President Trump over alleged hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels — accusing the woke DA of weaponizing the office.
“You have a cynical public, they don’t believe anyone and when you start to see these prosecutors bring political cases, it just affirms everybody’s cynicism,” Cuomo told John Catsimatidis on Friday on WABC 770’S “The Cats Roundtable.”
“It’s a coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump and Tish James goes after Trump and Georgia goes after Trump. That’s all a coincidence,” Cuomo scoffed, referring to James’ investigation of the Trump Organization and the District Attorney of Fulton County’s probe into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“It feeds the cynicism and that’s the cancer in our body politic right now,” he added.
The former governor — who resigned in disgrace after being accused of sexual misconduct by a dozen women — said he expected Trump to be indicted by Bragg’s office next week. Cuomo has consistently denied all the allegations against him.
“You can indict a ham sandwich … I’m sure they’ll get an indictment,” Cuomo said.
In his remarks, Cuomo also offered sharp words for President Biden, blaming him for the current US migrant crisis.
“This was caused by President Biden. He may have had great intents and policy. But he opened the borders without a plan to deal with the number of people who were going to come in. That is now an established fact.
“New York City winds up with tens of thousands of people to handle,” he said.
Cuomo suggested Mayor Eric Adams should seek to send migrants around the rest of the state.
“New York State is a sanctuary state. Where is the state? Where are the legislative leaders? Why is this a New York City problem? Mayor Adams should consider putting people on the bus and sending them to Albany if he doesn’t get the state to respond. This is not his problem. The state has to step up,” Cuomo said.
