Former Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over his focus on potentially prosecuting former President Donald Trump and suggested the move is politically motivated.
"I don’t understand why Bragg is putting such emphasis on this case," the former governor told WABC Radio on Friday night.
"A person breaks the law I get it, but on the state side this is a misdemeanor case. It’s really a federal case because he needs it to be a campaign finance fraud case which is a federal case and that’s what Bragg is going to have to do to get a felony out of this."
Cuomo said that the public is generally "cynical" and "when they see prosecutors bringing these political cases" it just "affirms everybody’s cynicism."
"I think it’s all politics and that’s what I think the people of this country are saying," Cuomo continued. "It just feeds that anger and that cynicism and the partisanship. It’s a coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump and Tish James goes after Trump and Georgia goes after Trump? That’s all a coincidence? I think it feeds the cynicism and that’s the cancer in our body politic right now."
Despite the comments about Bragg’s motivation, Cuomo says he does believe an indictment will be handed down next week while bringing up the old adage that district attorneys can "indict a ham sandwich" if they want to.

—> Given all the c**p Trump has been shoveling to DeSantis these past few months,
He didn’t need to make a good response for trump’s benefit, but for his own.
I’m guessing they took 2-3 days before his rove team wrote what he read. It was tone deaf.
Didn’t hurt trump - it reinforced what trump has said about desantis. It hurt desantis.
Cuomo From Downtown!!!
Bragg -
“I did what you asked, why am I being hung out to dry”
“I’m almost out of coke after you guys took my “envelope”.
He never had your support.
You know nothing about me yet you make baseless allegations. You are worse than a liberal.
It is not a baseless allegation.
If you support President Trump then so be it.
Go back a re-read my post. I once supported Trump but his attacks on DeSantis have caused me to sour on him. Trump has been attacking a Republican Governor for months, and those attacks have been unnecessary since that governor has not announced a White House run.
Ronald Reagan and the 11th commandment come to mind.
I understand your position I guess.
Trump has unfinished business. It is on us.
I do not need Florida gov in this in any way.
He will ruin his chances if he interferes with Trump.
I like DeSantis. This is not his time.
Both being from Fla isn’t a ticket. DeSantis is being an interference.
Think about it.
“Trump has been attacking a Republican Governor for months”
And DeSantis has been running for President and using media influencers to take swipes at Trump and MAGA, not Biden, online and in newspapers and TV and all the rest and push the move on from Trump narrative for well over a YEAR now. That’s the reason Trump started attacking him. Trump doesn’t attack surrogates, he attacks the people who sent the surrogates, DeSantis in this case.
I live in Florida and am so happy with DeSantis as my Gov. But not with the money behind him and names like Bush and Ryan. Its uniparty and it is evil. Give me the mean tweets and flawed personality of President Trump any day. I miss having a border wall being built, a stable thriving economy, energy providing jobs so people could raise a family, affordable gas abd grocery bills, and the list goes on.
Childish, silly BS. The Dung Beetles are going to spend billions to change Fort Hood from an American name to a “Latino” name just to pacify their minority slave voters and keep them on the RAT plantation.
When are they going to make Bragg change his name from a confederate name to some other name?
