Fresh from winning a conviction against Trump’s family company for tax fraud, a DA convened a new grand jury in a reinvigorated investigation that could lead to the first-ever criminal charges against a former U.S. president.
NEW YORK — When Alvin Bragg became Manhattan’s first Black district attorney last year, one of his first big decisions was to tap the brakes on an investigation that had been speeding toward a likely criminal case against former President Donald Trump.
Asked if charging Trump was a real possibility, or if the former president could rest easy, Bragg replied: “I’m not going to tell anyone how to rest.” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, a Republican running for governor, campaigned partly on a promise to remove the independently elected Bragg from office. He also featured Bragg in a campaign ad, even though Bragg wasn’t even on the ballot.But Bragg, an old-school lawyer, was hesitant to push back publicly, something he now regrets.
While some types of crime increased in Manhattan during Bragg’s first year in office, the number of homicides and shootings actually dropped. Bragg countered in a statement that, in his assessment, “Pomerantz’s plane wasn’t ready for takeoff.”
