Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Takes on Trump in First Indictment.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has already faced criticism for his progressive overhaul of criminal justice policies, is now poised to become the first prosecutor to bring criminal charges against a former American president, Donald Trump. Trump has already sought to paint Bragg as a liberal firebrand, promoting criticism about his progressive policies. However, those who know Bragg say he is uninterested in political calculations and generally indifferent to the types of public-relations offenses Trump likes to wage. Bragg's office is considering bringing a felony charge based on the falsification of business records in a case centered on a hush-money payment made to the porn actress Stormy Daniels at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign.
