In the aftermath of former President Donald Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday, he attacked the Manhattan district attorney and Department of Justice. Left-leaning articles highlight that Trump called on Congress to “defund” the Department of Justice and FBI for their investigation of him, while right-leaning articles highlight that Trump slammed the Manhattan D.A. as a “Soros-backed prosecutor.”

USA Today published a centrist article reporting that in a speech from Mar-a-Lago after his arraignment Tuesday, Trump slammed Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg and prosecutors who have criminally charged him with 34 felony counts. Trump’s speech amounted to a revamp of his presidential campaign, representing the first time in history a former president faces criminal charges as well as running a campaign during the proceedings.

A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that the day after Trump was arraigned in New York, he called on Congress to “defund” the Department of Justice and the FBI—which the Post pointed out is highly unlikely to come to fruition with a Democratic-led Senate and under President Joe Biden. Trump’s comments echo the calls of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to defund the federal agencies for their treatment of Trump.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that in his speech in Mar-a-Lago attacking Bragg, Trump said that he “never thought anything like this could happen in America.” Fox pointed out that the presiding judge had not issued a gag order, meaning Trump was free to make public comments about the trial proceedings. Trump slammed Bragg, calling him a “Soros-backed prosecutor” who only won election in order to take down Trump.
