As New York prosecutors debated various possible charges against Donald Trump, they feared he would have to prove he was not legally insane to bring charges against him, according to a book about the future of such by the prosecutor.
“Did Donald Trump suffer from a mental condition that made it impossible for him to distinguish fact from fiction?” Mark Pomerantz writes in People Vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account,” obtained by The Daily Beast. The book will be released on Tuesday.
Pomerantz, who joined the Manhattan district attorney’s office in early 2021, revealed that attorneys “discussed whether Trump had been talking nonsense about so many things for so many years that he couldn’t process the difference.” between nonsense and reality,” according to Pomerantz. to the Beast. .
“To disprove the claim that Trump believed his own ‘hype’ … we would have to show and emphasize that Donald Trump was not legally insane,” Beast quoted from the book.
Prosecutors recruited Pomerantz as they tried to build a case against the former president over his alleged falsified documents, but Pomerantz resigned early last year when then-U.S. Attorney Alvin Bragg opted not to charge him impeach Trump.
Bragg has since stepped up an investigation into Trump’s business records and alleged payments to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
