During Wednesday’s edition of The Breakfast Club, radio host Charlamagne Tha God pushed New York City and DA Alvin Bragg to throw out the case against Donald Trump.
Bragg’s office announced this week that it was requesting a stay in Trump’s “hush money” case until after he leaves office in 2029.
“New York City, just throw the whole thing away, alright? Cut it out. Who are we fooling? Who are we fooling? Nothing’s going to happen to Trump, and nobody wants that retribution that he may deliver hanging over their head. Just — he won the election. It is what it is,” Charlamagne said. “Cut ties, sever your losses, throw the whole case away. Come on. Who are we fooling, y’all? Who are you fooling, like seriously?”
“And if you push it back for four years, that might give him more reason to stay, okay?… He is the same person who told his voting base, ‘Just vote one more time, you’ll never have to vote again.’ All right, wink wink,” he continued. “Okay? Come on.”

George Washington University law professor and political commentator Jonathan Turley shared similar sentiments this week.
“The worst possible scenario, in my view, is to keep this matter pending during the four years of the administration. You cannot have a local district attorney treat a sitting president like a freak on a leash, where he just is able to say that, ‘I will finish this once you’re out of office,’” Turley said. “It elevates the district attorney to a grotesque level. It also leaves this local judge as determining the ultimate outcome of the president of the United States. It doesn’t serve the nation or justice to have that type of lingering question for the next four years.”
“Now it certainly serves everyone in New York politically. It serves Bragg, it likely serves this judge politically, but it doesn’t serve the nation. And so the question that we’ll be looking at with this new hearing that’s likely to occur is whether the judge will listen to his better angels and dismiss this case,” he added. “As I’ve said before, I do not believe that the mere election or reelection of President Trump is the basis for simply dismissing this case. I don’t think that the local judge will view it that way. He has a jury verdict on all of these counts.”
