Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has charged former President Donald J. Trump with 34 felony counts for falsifying business records related to 'hush money' payments to Stormy Daniels, declaring him "Guilty as charged." This action marks a significant move by Bragg, who has been at the forefront of legal actions against Trump, being the first to indict him. The charges are part of a broader accusation of election interference, as Trump is alleged to have attempted to conceal the truth from voters ahead of the 2016 election. The case has sparked discussions on whether it constitutes a partisan vendetta against Trump, with some opinions suggesting that the prosecution lacks merit, while others argue that Bragg's decision aligns with the treatment of similar cases involving 437 other New Yorkers.
“Rather than go hunting for something to pin on Trump, Bragg made the correct decision not to exempt Trump from charges 437 other New Yorkers faced simply because he is now a former president,” @JRubinBlogger writes. https://t.co/gBGJDEqS4D https://t.co/0dpX5mPpH3
