(Daily Caller) Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett alleged that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump is held to a “different” standard, citing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s involvement in the Steele Dossier.
Trump’s trial over a $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels as part of a confidentiality agreement during Trump’s successful run for the White House startsMonday. Jarrett pointed out similarities between the case and the lack of prosecution towards Clinton, whose campaign financed a since-discredited dossierassembled by Christopher Steele alleging Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
“Hillary Clinton did pretty much the same thing,” Jarrett said on “Fox and Friends.” “She, too, used a lawyer to secretly pay for the phony Steele Dossier and booking it as legal expenses. She was fined by the FEC, but she wasn’t prosecuted and neither was Barack Obama, even though he was fined a whopping $375,000 for hiding donors and keeping illegal contributions.”
