The Manhattan district attorney investigating Donald Trump

Alvin Bragg made history in 2021 as the first black man elected New York County district attorney. His spotlight is about to grow a lot brighter.

Mr Bragg, 49, could become the first prosecutor - at the federal, state or local level - to bring criminal charges against a former American president.

His office has been investigating an alleged hush money settlement between Donald Trump and an adult film star.

With the probe nearing its end, an indictment of Mr Trump may be imminent.

The case stems from a $130,000 (£106,000) payment made by his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels at the height of the 2016 presidential election, allegedly in exchange for her silence over an affair with Mr Trump.

The Republican ex-president denies wrongdoing. He predicted without evidence that he will be arrested on Tuesday and has called for his supporters to protest and "TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"

Trump didn’t simply predict without evidence he would be arrested on Tuesday, he knew very well he was not going to be arrested on Tuesday.

 

At the time of making the statement he had already asked DA Bragg  to allow Robert Castello to give testimony to the Grand Jury, Bragg had agreed.

 

Trump knew this he knew this would delay the Grand Jury ruling, he was again lying through his teeth.

 

Oh, and Castello’s testimony didn’t go as he expected, he’s been bleating about it since.
