Bragg is expected to use a New York state statute related to fraudulent bookkeeping, a risky strategy that could backfire if jurors become mired in legal complexities. Here's more.
Already, there was talk of Bragg entering politics. “I would push him toward elective politics because he's the perfect example of a crossover politician who can draw votes from both white and Black voters,” Harvard’s dean of students told the Crimson.
But the 49-year-old is in the news today because he could be on the cusp of bringing the first-ever criminal charges against a former president. The charges stem from an assertion by Trump’s former fixer Michael D. Cohen,that the adult film actress Stormy Daniels was paid $130,000 in 2016 to keep quiet about an affair with the reality television star, who was then preparing to launch what would be his successful campaign for president.
A clash between Trump and Bragg was all but inevitable, given that Bragg pledged to focus on the former president’s alleged wrongdoings. Not only that, but the two men represent starkly different visions of the American dream, and the American future — as well as of whom the law should and should not prosecute.
“Before I was 21 years old, I had a gun pointed at me six times: three by police officers and three by people who were not police officers. I had a knife to my neck, a semi-automatic gun to my head and a homicide victim on my doorstep,” Bragg would later write of his upbringing.
