Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced Friday that his state will be filing a lawsuit against New York state over the way it persecuted former President Donald Trump in the recent trial that resulted in Trump’s conviction on charges of falsifying business records.
“I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump,” Bailey, a Republican, posted on X. “It’s time to restore the rule of law.”
“We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail. It sabotages Missourians’ right to a free and fair election,” he wrote in another post, adding “Stay tuned.”
