For new adminstration, after new administration, DA’s routinely submitted resignations on day 1, assuming they’d be replaced as the President’s key law enforcers around the country. Most were.
Trump caught flak (he’s a Republican doncha’ know) for attempting to do what all had done before, so he backed off a bit, IIRC. Mistake.
Not to be repeated.
I am puzzled by Bragg’s motivation here as this appears D’s only chance to get Trump confined, unless they’re worried about even worse public reaction which hasn’t concerned them heretofore.
Do you mean U.S. Attorneys? They are appointed by the President.
Alvin Bragg is the elected district attorney for New York County (Manhattan), New York. His office is supposed to prosecute state crimes, not federal crimes.
