Former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who first opened Donald Trump hush-money probe, warns comments by the former president could make jurors view the case more severely.
"I was disturbed to hear the former president speak in the way he spoke about the District Attorney Bragg and even the trial court in the past week," Vance said Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press."
If he were Trump's attorney, Vance said, he would tell Trump to "be mindful of not committing some other criminal offense," such as obstructing the government.
"I think that could take what perhaps we think is not the strongest case, when you add a count like that, put it in front of a jury, it can change the jury's mind about the severity of the case that they're looking at," he also said.
When asked whether Bragg's case was "airtight," Vance replied: "I do not know if this guy's case is airtight or not. I know that the DA's office has extremely experienced and seasoned lawyers."
Vance decided to not run for reelection in 2021, allowing Bragg to take over the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
Trump is expected to travel to New York on Monday and be arraigned in court on Tuesday.

you noticed too?
I guess a-hole Vance thinks a corrupt, political DA should not be called on his corruption and politicalization of his office. But then that’s a democrat for you, they can do anything and not be help accountable or called out for it.
Jurors so that’s what they call them now cute.
Take your beating without complaining unless you want it to continue.
Mr. Vance is simply wrong here. Nothing could make the New York jurors view the case more severely. He has already been found guilty by all potential jurors. If they have any doubts they will be excluded from the jury pool.
Does anyone think a NYorker that would be picked as a juror has ANY positive view of Trump to be affected by his complaints? They are all hoping they will get picked for the jury just so they can vote guilty on all counts the minute the judge starts the trial.
I believe this is the whole point.
I am currently listening to a clip from this filthy pig back when he ran against this same execrable human stain Vance, and he is “bragging” about suing Trump over a hundred times, and then the top two examples were “The Muslim Ban” and the “Separation at The Border” cases.
Wow. It is illuminating to see him lump this case in with those. Says it all.
