Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been at the center of controversy for his prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Bragg, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Trump, took over the investigation initiated by his predecessor, Cy Vance. Critics, including Senator John Kennedy, argue that Bragg's actions were politically motivated and have destabilized the country. Bragg, however, maintains that he was simply doing his job as an elected prosecutor. The case, which began in the spring of 2021, has sparked significant debate about the role of politics in the criminal justice system. Bragg has not yet disclosed whether he will seek prison time for Trump.
