The former president said he's not to blame for the image of him a holding bat in article he shared on Truth Social.
Trump said that he was unaware that the news article he shared would use the image of him with a baseball bat next to Bragg, which was taken in the White House in July 2017 to promote a"Made in America" initiative. The post was later deleted from Trump's account.
"You have to understand that when the story was put up, we didn't see pictures, we put up a story that was very exculpatory, very good story from the standpoint of what we're talking about," Trump said. "They put up a picture of me where I was holding the baseball bat at the White House...Then they put next to that picture, a picture of Alvin Bragg. I didn't do it. They did it.
"We posted the story, but they had a picture up, they then put a picture up, or the picture was put up that nobody noticed or saw or that nobody thought it was bad," Trump added."These were two separate pictures. "I was promoting 'Made in America,' you make these baseball bats instead of sending them over to Japan and China...This was a company, a good company, that makes baseball bats and other things like that in America. They took that picture from the White House and then they put a picture of Alvin Bragg up."
