Donald Trump remained hyperfocused on New York Attorney General Tish James as tensions in the Middle East escalated Saturday.<\/p>\n
As his campaign issued a statement on Hamas\u2019 deadly attack on Israel, a flurry of Truth Social posts suggested the former president\u2019s attention was elsewhere.<\/p>\n
One post linked to a clip of his lawyer Alina Habba discussing his New York trial on Fox News.<\/p>\n
Twice in a row, he posted the same video of James. In the video, James says, \u201cthe number one issue in this country is defeating Donald Trump. Nothing else matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
A fourth post, accompanied by another video of James, read: \u201cJUSTICE IN AMERICA. Terminate this Witch Hunt trial. How can Judge Engoron allow this scam to continue. Also, I am worth much MORE than on Financials, and have 100% DISCLAIMER CLAUSE. Therefore, can\u2019t be Fraud!!! END THIS FAKE $18,000,000 Mar-a-Lago TRIAL. A total miscarriage of justice!\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump further posted multiple times on Hunter Biden and unsubstantiated allegations of White House corruption. <\/p>\n
In comparison, his tone on Israel was muted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese Hamas attacks are a disgrace and Israel has every right to defend itself with overwhelming force. Sadly, American taxpayer dollars helped fund these attacks, which many reports are saying came from the Biden Administration. We brought so much peace to the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, only to see Biden whittle it away at a far more rapid pace than anyone thought possible. Here we go again,\u201d read his campaign statement. <\/p>\n
James sued Trump in a New York court, accusing him of extensive business fraud. The former president has relentlessly attacked James and others involved in the ongoing trial, leading the judge to issue a partial gag order<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the past, Trump has been vocal in his support for Israel. During his presidency, he closely aligned himself with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
