Former US President Donald Trump said Thursday that the tax crime charges brought against his company and its chief financial officer are politically motivated, and accused New York prosecutors of “dividing the country.”

“The political witch hunt by radical left Democrats, with New York now taking over, continues,” Trump said in a statement after the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg were indicted in a New York court.

“It is dividing our country like never before!” said Trump who has himself been accused of creating divisions.
