An Algerian national allegedly assaulted two women in the back of his New York taxi in separate incidents but is still snagging fares after getting a sweetheart deal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the New York Post reported Saturday. Records show that Mohammed Bellebia, 34, was allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges in at least one of the incidents, according to the newspaper. According to the tabloid’s detailed reporting, the cabbie’s first alleged victim was 23-year-old Maile Bartow who entered Bellebia’s yellow cab minivan around 2 a.m. in November of last year after a night on the town...

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has refused to re-file charges against Brianna Rivers, the woman who violently assaulted pro-life advocate Savannah Craven Antao during a peaceful “woman on the street” video in Manhattan. The assault and the subsequent mishandling of criminal charges has prompted outrage from pro-life advocates and Craven Antao’s attorneys. The incident, captured on video, showed Rivers punching Antao in the face while Antao was expressing her pro-life beliefs. Despite an apology from Bragg’s office acknowledging an “unacceptable error” in the initial handling of the case, the district attorney’s office has now rejected calls to prosecute Rivers, even...

I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 @ImMeme0 🚨BREAKING: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office has thrown out charges against Brianna J. Rivers, who was caught on video assaulting pro-life advocate Savannah Craven in April. What began as a felony was reduced to a misdemeanor—and now erased completely. "Brianna J. Rivers was arrested and reportedly charged with felony assault but after an interview with two prosecutors, I was informed that the felony had been downgraded to a misdemeanor." "On July 23, 2025, I find out the prosecution simply allowed this misdemeanor to be dismissed on speedy trial grounds, apparently due to the...

I suppose this could be your Friday rhetorical question, as we all know a fish rots from the head, and the head of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is none other than the rotten-to-the-core Alvin Bragg. The same Alvin Bragg who prosecuted Donald Trump for falsifying business records. The same Alvin Bragg whose office unsuccessfully prosecuted subway hero Daniel Penny for manslaughter when he subdued a drug-crazed, psychotic vagrant threatening fellow passengers. The same Alvin Bragg and his crew of progressive malcontents who have been declining to prosecute any of the rampaging terrorist supporters shrieking, chanting, vandalizing, and threatening Jewish...

In an 82-page court filing made public Tuesday, Manhattan prosecutors say Donald Trump's "history of malicious conduct" is too serious for his hush-money case to be dismissed. The filing, signed by DA Alvin Bragg, also fights Trump's claim that he enjoys something called presidential-elect immunity — above and beyond the presidential immunity bestowed on him by the US Supreme Court in June. "There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to inauguration," Bragg wrote in opposing Trump's 11th-hour motion to dismiss, "because President-elect immunity does not exist." With just six weeks left before his January 20 inauguration — and...

Controversial Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is heavily favored to win re-election next year despite being seen as soft on crime — and critics say that could make New York City a laughingstock. No Democrat has emerged thus far to challenge Bragg in the June 25 Democratic primary. Republicans will field a credible candidate, said state GOP chairman Ed Cox — but pundits predict that any GOP nominee will still face daunting odds in liberal Manhattan, even with Bragg’s reputation as being soft on quality-of-life and street crimes. Some analysts added that New York will be a national joke if...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: ALVIN BRAGG TO PUT STEVE BANNON ON NEW TRIAL ON DECEMBER 9TH

Claims His Former Colleague Alvin Bragg's Case is "Nonsense" And Alleges He Was "Stacking Charges" “He[Alvin Bragg] was just stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case.” “I think the case is nonsense.”

A member of the Federal Election Commission testified to Congress on Thursday that the Manhattan district attorney who led the prosecution of former President Donald Trump overstepped his authority. Trey Trainor, a Trump-appointed commissioner who once served as FEC chairman, said during a hearing that District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, inappropriately incorporated a federal election campaign law into his charges against Trump.“Bragg has effectively usurped the jurisdiction that this Congress has explicitly reserved for federal authorities,” Trainor said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “This overreach sets a troubling precedent for politicization of legal proceedings at the state...

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is reportedly preparing to revoke former President Donald Trump’s license to carry a gun, a senior police told far-left CNN. Trump’s New York concealed carry license was quietly suspended on April 1, 2023, following his indictment on sham charges in New York. Two of the three pistols he was licensed to carry were turned over to the NYPD on March 31, 2023. The third gun listed on Trump’s license was “lawfully moved to Florida,” according to the same source. After Trump was convicted of 34 felonies on May 30, 2024, in made-up crimes,...

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is backed by Soros, is now under fire for allegedly leaking sensitive sentencing information about former President Donald Trump to the far-left media. She described them as ‘street fighters,’ who indicated that Bragg might push for a tough one-year imprisonment, primarily to ensure Trump faces the daunting conditions of Rikers Island. “I spent this morning speaking to someone from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. They’re called street fighters. He believes that they will recommend a one-year term in prison. And that is because when you spend a year in prison in...

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s paralegal testified on Friday that his office deleted from their evidence three pages of phone records between convicted liar Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Keith Davidson without notifying former President Donald Trump’s legal team, according to reports.

Stormy Daniels) lawyer were deleted, raising questions about evidentiary integrity.In a bid to challenge some of the evidence being put forward in President Trump’s business records falsification trial in Manhattan, Trump attorney Emil Bove asked paralegal Jaden Jarmel-Schneider in court on May 10 about roughly three pages worth of records that the attorney claimed Mr. Bragg’s office had deleted.Mr. Jarmel-Schneider confirmed some deletions. He acknowledged that some phone...

Prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office offered new transparency not only to the public, but seemingly also Trump’s defense attorneys on Tuesday when, one year after indicting the former president, they finally pulled back the curtain to reveal the motivating crime in their case: a violation of state election law. Former federal prosecutors told the Daily Caller News Foundation Bragg’s lack of clarity is unfair to the defense, who can’t prepare to argue against a charge they don’t know, and unlike what they’ve seen before. ... “First, that Alvin Bragg’s office did not provide advanced notice of the...

Surveillance footage captured the moment one New York City man brought out a katana blade and swiped at group of men during a fight he said started when the gang urinated on his building and hurled racial slurs at him and his brother.

Soro-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has come under fire for his decision to release several suspects involved in a violent attack on New York City police officers. The incident in question, reported earlier by The Gateway Pundit, involved a violent altercation last Saturday night near a migrant center in the bustling area of Times Square. A video of the incident shows two police officers attempting to disperse a mob of illegal aliens when chaos ensued, leading to a physical confrontation. Seven of the thirteen alleged assailants were arrested and charged with assaulting an officer. The release of the others,...

Donald Trump’s bid to force the recusal of the magistrate in his criminal “hush money” case should be tossed out as an improper bid “to select his own judge,” Manhattan prosecutors argue in new court papers. The 45th president earlier this month said Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan should withdraw from overseeing the criminal case against him, claiming Merchan’s daughter’s company has a “political and financial interest” in the outcome. Lawyers for Trump, 77, also argued that Merchan should leave the case because of $35 in political contributions he made in the 2020 presidential election and because he urged...
