Hello everyone! Former President Donald Trump isn’t holding back his criticism of Fox News’ Shannon Bream. On Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social to blast Bream for pushing back against claims that President Joe Biden was directing Trump’s hush money trial.
Trump’s post read, “I never knew Shannon Bream was so ‘naïve.’ In her interview with my Representative, Alina Habba, Shannon just suggested that Crooked Joe Biden was not involved in my Show Trial.” He continued his rant by calling Bream’s stance “stupid,” insisting that Biden is deeply involved in the trial and all other legal actions against him. Trump claimed, “Not only is he involved, he is virtually leading it, and all of the other Trials as well – Meaning, his people, because he’s not mentally sharp enough to lead anything!”
Trump wasn’t done yet. He accused Biden of using the Department of Justice and White House officials to weaponize the legal system, all in a bid to secure his political victory. “He’s counting on the Shannon Breams of the World to get him there. Bad day for Shannon!” Trump wrote, capping off his fiery post.
So, what sparked this outburst? It all began when Shannon Bream interviewed Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, as the jury deliberated in the trial against Trump for allegedly paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Bream suggested that some voters would always associate Trump with such legal dramas. Habba responded by calling the trial “extortion” and a result of Trump being “a very effective human being.”
Habba didn’t hold back, either. She accused Biden of being incompetent and claimed he was using the trial as a distraction tactic. “Joe Biden, unfortunately, can’t really do anything in office,” Habba said. “So, he’s got to use the same means as somebody who’s just trying to have a quick slip-and-fall and make money. And that is frankly what we’re seeing right now. This is exactly a Biden show because he’s got to distract the American people.”
Bream pushed back, stating, “The Biden administration’s not responsible for this trial.” This statement led to a heated exchange, with Habba questioning how Bream could deny Biden’s involvement. Bream explained that the trial was a state matter handled by Alvin Bragg and had no direct connection to the DOJ, pointing out that federal prosecutors had declined to bring charges.
Habba, however, wasn’t convinced. She urged Bream to consider the interactions between state officials and the White House, suggesting a deeper connection. “Look at how many logs they have of state officials – Letitia James, Fani Willis – visiting the White House and then tell me that this is not a Biden trial,” Habba argued. She further criticized the Biden campaign for holding an event outside the courthouse and planning to deliver remarks after the trial’s verdict.

This fiery exchange highlights the intense and polarized nature of current political discourse. Trump’s social media post and the subsequent interview with Habba underscore the former president’s belief that he is being unfairly targeted by a politicized legal system. As the trial continues, it’s clear that tensions will only escalate, with both sides fiercely defending their positions.
