Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) for the first time on Thursday addressed a claim by former President Trump that he would be arrested in connection to an investigation into a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, calling it the creation of a “false expectation.”
Bragg, in response to demands by House Republicans to force his testimony and turn over all documents and communication on the case, wrote in a letter to Congress that such a move was an “unprecendent[ed] inquiry into a pending local prosecution.”
“The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” Bragg wrote.

And that was what forced Bragg to call witnesses for the defense? If I understand New York law correctly, the prosecutor presenting a felony case to a grand jury must give the potential defendant an opportunity to testify before the grand jury. I think this is what precipitated the last-minute "witness for the defense" appearance this week.

Correct. Bad move for the country period. I wouldn’t even want it done to a dem and I despise them.

What a bunch of Soros-appointed boobs. I’m thinking Georgie ain’t getting his money’s worth from his purchased, planted, rabid Anti-Trump DAs!

Al made the mistake of having the PD make arrangements with Trump’s secret service detail. That’s how Trump knew

“Trump skillfully disrupted our plans. We are now scrambling to come up with a Plan B.” i.e., Trump trolled the Democrats into tripping over themselves AGAIN. 😏😉😆

Maybe Trump should arrest himself to make up for it. I never thought this would pan out, but if he did interfere with their plans, that was one brilliant thing he did.

If Trump just made up the date of Tuesday Bragg should have corrected that detail immediately.
