Eric Trump has lashed out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for indicting his father amid a wave of “theft, homelessness and crime” in the Big Apple.
Eric said the pursuit of his father was hypocritical when he called on authorities to turn their attention to President Biden’s son, Hunter, who was pictured in a series of accusation shots with prostitutes while on drugs.
Trump was unexpectedly sued Thursday for a $130,000 silent payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
It marked a victory for Bragg, whose office was responsible for investigating the payments.
But Eric took a furious turn at his father’s district attorney’s chase in a furious tirade on Thursday night’s episode of Hannity.
Eric Trump lashes out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for suing his father amid surge of ‘theft, homelessness and crime’ in the Big Apple
“This is a city falling apart. I went to CVS, you can’t get through tylenol, it’s locked behind counters, there’s so much theft and homelessness and crime, but their attention is on Donald Trump,” he said.
Girls get shot in Time Square and they go after Donald Trump. Give me a break.’
He appeared to be referring to an incident in May 2021 when three innocent bystanders, including a four-year-old girl, were shot in Times Square.
Bragg became a Manhattan DA several months later in November 2021.
Eric also listed numerous indiscretions by other former presidents and their relatives – who have never been prosecuted by the courts.
These include shots of a naked Hunter Biden jumping around with a prostitute and a gun and Bill Clinton’s $850,000 payment to public servant Paula Jones after she accused him of sexual harassment and assault.
He also referenced Hilary Clinton’s email controversy, where she sent messages from a personal account during her four years as Secretary of State to Barack Obama.
“This is Third World tactics,” Eric said.
Hunter Biden frat depicts his lamentation. Bill Clinton pays Paula Jones. Bill Clinton smuggles white house interns into the oval office.
Hillary Clinton deletes e-mails under subpoena – and no one says anything about those people.
“If my dad is leading in the polls and he will be the man that Biden will ultimately face. Guess who they’re chasing?’
Hunter, 52, is embroiled in a bitter legal battle with a computer repair shop owner who leaked a litany of his nude photos and private messages from the president’s son in 2020.
Hunter had left the laptop at the store and hadn’t picked it up.
Earlier in the evening, Eric told Dailymail.com that the case against his father was “an opportunistic target of a political opponent in a campaign year.”
Trump will now reportedly be charged on Tuesday after weeks of speculation that an arrest was imminent.
The allegations against Trump center around a $130,000 hush money payment made by Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, to Daniels, 44, during the 2016 presidential campaign.

A grand jury has heard evidence of allegations Donald Trump paid $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence on their affair
The former president has always denied having an affair with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
But the case dogged him throughout his tenure after he launched a federal investigation.
Although the Justice Department decided not to charge Trump and the Federal Election Commission was locked in for taking action over claims that the payment amounted to an undeclared campaign contribution, the Manhattan DA was still reviewing the case.
And it gained new momentum in early 2023 when Cohen met with investigators from the Manhattan district attorney’s office and found that a grand jury was hearing evidence.
Such hearings are held in secret. But one theory was that it was investigating Trump for falsifying business records related to the payment, allegedly misreporting a campaign donation as legal compensation.
That amounts to a crime. But that leads to a felony if done in conjunction with a second crime, such as a campaign finance violation
On Saturday, March 18, Trump famously said he would be arrested the following Tuesday by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.
However, no arrests were made and the case had fallen silent in recent weeks.
Trump responded to news of the indictment with a furious statement calling it “political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history.”
“I believe this witch hunt will backfire enormously on Joe Biden,” he said.
“The American people know exactly what the radical left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it.
Trump denounced the charges in an emailed statement. He said this ‘Witch Hunt will backfire enormously on Joe Biden’ and predicted that Democrats will be voted out of office
Trump is expected to voluntarily travel to New York to be arrested. But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tweeted that he would make no effort to extradite the former president
“So our movement and our party – united and strong – will first defeat Alvin Bragg and then we will defeat Joe Biden and we are going to unseat every last one of these crooked Democrats so we can make America great again.”
And he was offered partial shelter by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who promised to thwart Trump’s extradition from his state to New York.
