"Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's Potential Trump Indictment Sparks Controversy"
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who oversaw the Trump investigation, saw the case against former President Donald Trump as potentially "charge ready" years ago, according to a 2020 interview with CBS News. Bragg noted the "Individual-1" moniker in the charging document against Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, and said that if the evidence was there, the case could be "accurate and charge ready." Bragg inherited the Trump investigation from his predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., and secured a guilty plea from former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg in August 2022. The investigation has since returned to the $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, with Cohen as the prosecution's apparent star witness.
