Trump: Mother Theresa Could Not Beat These Charges

President Trump addressed the media after Judge Juan Merchan instructed the jury overseeing his Hush Money trial that they did not have to agree unanimously to find Trump guilty but rather “can split 4-4-4.”

Trump told the press after the jury left for deliberations, “Mother Theresa could not beat these charges.”

These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged,” added Trump

Per Fox News:

Former President Trump vowed he would win the 2024 presidential election as the jury in the NY v. Trump case on Wednesday began deliberations regarding charges the 45th president says “Mother Teresa could not beat.”

“The judge, who, as you know, is very conflicted and corrupt. Because of the confliction, very, very corrupt. Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged,” Trump said late Wednesday morning as jury deliberations kicked off.

“The whole country is a mess, between the borders and fake elections, and you have a trial like this where the judge is so conflicted, he can’t breathe. He’s got to do his job. … it’s a disgrace. And I mean that, Mother Teresa could not beat those charges. But we’ll see. We’ll see how we do.”

The jury began deliberations ahead of noon on Wednesday after a lengthy day in court on Tuesday, when they heard closing arguments from both the defense team and a lengthy closing argument from the district attorney’s office.

Here’s what Yahoo News shared:

As the jury began deliberating the case, the former president griped to reporters that the famed Catholic missionary “could not beat these charges.”

He continued to rant:

“I mean that: Mother Teresa could not beat those charges, but we’ll see,” Trump said. “We’ll see how we do. It’s a very disgraceful situation. Every single legal scholar said there’s no case and it shouldn’t be brought.”

However, the former president declined to answer a reporter who asked, “Do you mean you’re holier than Mother Teresa?”
