TV star “Judge Judy” Sheindlin slammed New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg for trying former President Donald Trump in the hush-money case.

During Sheindlin’s appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” in an episode that streamed on Friday, Wallace asked the judge what she thought about the trial, and she said Bragg only tried Trump for his own selfish reasons, something for which she resents him.

“I would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney [Alvin Bragg] of New York County would take care of criminals who are making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway,” the judge said.

“To use those efforts to keep those people off the street, than to spend $5 million or $10 million taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense,” she added. “That’s my view.”

“I, as a taxpayer in this country, resent using the system for your own personal self-aggrandizement,” the judge continued, saying that’s exactly what she thinks Bragg did by trying Trump. “You have to twist yourself in a pretzel to figure out what the crime was. He [Bragg] doesn’t like him [Trump]. New York City didn’t like him [Trump] for a while.”

When pressed by Wallace on what she personally thought of the former president, the judge said that she thinks Trump “was a good businessman, a real estate guy. And he was certainly terrific on ‘The Apprentice.'”

However, when asked her thoughts about Trump’s presidency, she made it clear she didn’t think he should be in the highest office in the land.

“I don’t think that Donald [Trump] ever should have been president,” Sheindlin said. “And I don’t think that even Donald thought he was going to be president.”

The former president was recently found guilty on all 34 counts by a New York jury in the hush-money trial.

The guilty verdict in Trump’s New York trial marks the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime, as previously reported.

At the heart of the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg were 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal damaging information around the 2016 election as part of a “catch-and-kill” scheme.

Prosecutors accused Trump of improperly masking reimbursements to repay his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence on an alleged extramarital affair by classifying them as legal expenses.

Trump has denied that the affair with Stormy Daniels ever happened and pleaded not guilty to the charges. His lawyers argued there was no intent to defraud or influence the 2016 election.

A Clark County judge on Friday dismissed the charges filed against the six Nevada Republicans who were accused of submitting fraudulent electoral votes for former President Donald Trump in 2020 election.

Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus dismissed the case because she said that it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

“I can’t see jurisdiction here. I can’t see it. I can’t see how I have any jurisdiction in this case,” she said, adding: “You have literally, in my opinion, a crime that has occurred in another jurisdiction. It’s so appropriately up north and so appropriately not here.”

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, claimed that the judge “got it wrong” and said that his office would appeal the ruling at the state Supreme Court, The Nevada Independent reported.

The report noted that the state cannot refile the case because the three-year statute of limitations expired at the end of last year.

A lawyer for one of the defendants said that the state’s prosecution was “done.”

A grand jury in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County indicted Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald, national committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid, Clark County Republican Party chair Jesse Law, state party vice chair Jim Hindle III, Shawn Meehan, and Eileen Rice in December of last year.

All six individuals were indicted on two felony counts of offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument by submitting fraudulent documents to state and federal officials. The two felony charges were category C and D felonies, respectively, and carried a maximum of four years and five years in prison.

Other states — all of them swing states — are prosecuting Republicans who were allegedly involved in what Democrat prosecutors have claimed were similar schemes, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona.
