US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy talks about the arrest of former President Donald Trump. He calls it "political" and a "weak case." He speaks with Bloomberg's Annmarie Hordern on "Balance of Power" from Southern California. The 34 felony criminal counts brought against former President Donald Trump by the Manhattan district attorney amount to “a weak case” that is politically driven, Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday. “Everybody knows this is not a real case,” the California Republican said in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s “Balance of Power.” McCarthy deflected a question about whether he would welcome more candidates getting into the 2024 race president by responding that President Joe Biden hasn’t formally announced his own reelection bid. “So, there’s a lot of people questioning whether Biden will even run,” McCarthy answered. Trump on Tuesday pleaded not guilty on all 34 counts brought by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. The charges are related to allegations Trump used hush money to bury damaging information about an affair with a former porn star and boost his electoral prospects in 2016. -------- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Subscribe to Bloomberg Originals: https://www.youtube.com/BloombergTV Bloomberg Quicktake brings you global social video spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
