Missouri AG to sue NY over “unconstitutional lawfare” against Trump

06/27/2024 / By Belle Carter

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey believes it is time to restore the rule of law as he announced that his office is planning to sue the state of New York for its “lawfare” against former President Donald Trump.

“I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare” against former President Donald Trump, Bailey posted on X. “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 also told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that radical progressives in the Big Apple are trying to rig the 2024 elections. That is why “we have to stand up and fight back,” he urged the listeners. Bailey’s office noted that the lawsuit will go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court because it is a state versus state action. His office said it will be titled “Missouri vs. New York.”

Back in May, a 12-person jury in Manhattan found the former president guilty on 34 counts for falsifying records to pay off adult entertainment actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The former president will likely appeal his conviction, which may or may not be overturned before November.

Last month, Bailey already probed the Department of Justice (DOJ) for documents related to any communications with prosecutors connected to the indictments of former President Trump. (Related: Actual collusion? Missouri AG accuses Biden DOJ of coordinating with Trump prosecutors.)

Bailey said the investigations into Trump appear to have been conducted in coordination with the DOJ, citing the move of the third-highest ranking member of the DOJ, Matthew Colangelo, to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to prosecute Trump in December 2022.

“I am demanding the DOJ turn over communications relating to the illicit prosecutions of President Trump. This includes communications between the DOJ and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Leticia James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis,” he said back then. “Thanks to evidence that has come to light, my office has reason to believe Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice is the headquarters of the illicit prosecutions against President Trump,” he added.

Bragg also worked alongside James in pursuing civil litigation against Trump, using that experience as a springboard from which to campaign for his current position, Bailey argued. He further pointed out that during the campaign, Bragg promised to go after Trump, if he gets elected. “Once he won elections, he pledged to personally focus on the high-profile probe into Trump’s business practices,” he added.

According to Fox News, Bailey requested the communications through the Freedom of Information Act. According to the request, he asked for all communications including documents, calendar appointments, meeting minutes and agendas related to Colangelo’s move to Bragg’s office. He also asked for all similar communications between DOJ and the offices of Bragg, James and Willis,” it noted.

Key swing-state voters trust Trump more than Biden when it comes to “democracy”

Despite the Big Government’s “unconstitutional lawfare” against Trump as well as negative propaganda as the election nears, voters trust Trump more in handling threats to democracy than incumbent President Joe Biden.

According to a poll by the Washington Post and the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, in six swing states that Biden narrowly won in 2020, a little more than half of voters classified as likely to decide the presidential election say threats to democracy are extremely important to their vote for president. Most of them trust Trump more than Biden to handle those threats better.

“Many Americans do not recognize Biden’s custodianship of our democracy, which is a bad sign for his campaign,” said Justin Gest, a professor of policy and government at George Mason. He noted that “the vast majority do not want to tip toward more authoritarian control,” with systems of representative or direct democracy polling far more favorably.

The poll asked 3,513 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in April and May. Of those surveyed, 2,255 were classified as “Deciders” or those who fit into one or more categories: They voted in only one of the past two presidential elections; are between ages 18 and 25; registered to vote since 2022; did not definitely plan to vote for either Biden or Trump this year; or switched their support between 2016 and 2020.
