As the Trump criminal case begins, the Manhattan district attorney is going to face his toughest trial yet

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to face his toughest trial yet as Trump criminal case begins. Bragg sat in Harlem café bullishly explaining how he planned to balance his reformist priorities for the borough with the infamously knotty task of confronting former President Donald Trump in court.

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg was prosecuted by the same Manhattan DA’s office that tried him in the hush money case. The DA is set to try Trump next week in the case against him in New York City. Weisselsberg's jail sentence shows what Alvin Bragg won’t hesitate to do, he says.

Manhattan D.A. says Donald Trump "corrupt[ed] a presidential election" by concealing embarrassing information. Bragg is trying to punish Trump for something that is not a crime, Bragg says. The essence of the case is that Donald Trump 'corrupted' the presidential election.
