"Manhattan DA justifies Trump charges with strong case"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg justified his prosecution of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments made ahead of the 2016 election, stating that it is his "solemn responsibility" to uphold accountability in the "business capital of the world." Bragg outlined the allegations against Trump, accusing him of orchestrating a "catch and kill" scheme through shady payments and bogus business entries filed by the Trump Organization. Trump's arraignment took place on Tuesday, and he is set to return to court on Dec. 4.
