Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against President Trump “b***s***” in his first Truth Social post.
“The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both b***s***, and pardons are appropriate,” Fetterman said.
“Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” he added.

A closer look:
From The Hill:
Fetterman said last week that Trump deserves to be pardoned of the hush money case on ABC’s “The View,” following President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden.
“I think that it’s undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated, but I also think it’s true that the trial in New York for Trump was political as well, too,” Fetterman said.
“In both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate and I really think, collectively, that America’s confidence in these types of institutions have been damaged by these kinds of cases, and we cannot allow these types of institutions to be weaponized against our political opponents,” he added.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has the ability to pardon Trump on the hush money case, but given the sour relationship between the Empire State governor and the president-elect, that is not likely to happen.

Per Daily Caller:
Although Fetterman joined Truth Social in November, according to his profile, he did not post until late Tuesday. The social media platform sent out a push notification announcing he joined early Wednesday.
Fetterman’s post was not the first time he spoke out on Bragg’s case against Trump, which ended in a guilty conviction on 34 felony counts. The Democratic senator told “The View” on Dec. 5 that the case was “politically motivated” and led to a distrust in U.S. institutions among the American public.
ADVERTISEMENTDespite Trump’s motion to dismiss the case, Bragg opposed the president-elect’s move Monday and urged Judge Juan Merchan to uphold the jury’s guilty verdict, according to court records.
Fetterman previously made waves in November when he praised some of Trump’s “serious, qualified” appointments to his incoming Cabinet.
