Manhattan District Attorney Bragg comments on verdict in Trump case

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg celebrated a win when former President Trump was found guilty on 34 charges. He said his team did their job by following the facts and the law without any bias. This means they looked at the evidence and legal rules carefully to make a fair decision. Bragg felt thankful to work with great public servants who do this every day. He mentioned that white-collar crimes like these are a big part of their work at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The jury unanimously decided that Trump was guilty of falsifying business records to hide a plan to influence the 2016 election. This verdict came after a six-week trial in Manhattan court. Trump disagreed with the decision and called the trial unfair, saying the real judgment would come from the people in the 2024 election. Despite Trump's claims, the court's decision stands. Alvin Bragg praised the jury and prosecutors for their hard work in following the facts and the law. He emphasized that they treated this case like any other, even though the defendant was a former president, which is unusual in American history. This conviction marks the first time a former or current US president has been found guilty of a crime.
