"Manhattan DA and Arizona Prosecutor Clash Over Extradition of NYC Murder Suspect"

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg accuses Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell of political grandstanding for refusing to extradite murder suspect Raad Noan Almansoori back to New York, where he's wanted in connection to a murder case. Mitchell, a Republican, cited concerns about Almansoori's safety and public interest, while Bragg criticized her actions as inappropriate in a murder case. The ultimate decision on extradition will come down to the governors of New York and Arizona, both Democrats, and legal experts are surprised by the rare extradition battle.

Manhattan DA's Lawsuit Against Trump Allies Criticized by Victim's Advocate.

Victims' rights advocate Jennifer Harrison criticized Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for focusing on prosecuting Donald Trump instead of fighting for crime victims. Harrison, who is due to testify at a House Judiciary Committee hearing investigating Bragg's prosecutorial lapses, founded Victims Rights NY after her boyfriend was murdered in 2005. Bragg's indictment of Trump on alleged hush money payments to former paramours has drawn criticism, with some calling the charges questionable. Bragg is now being sued by Rep. Jim Jordan and the House committee. Harrison hopes to shed light on the issue and bring attention to the need for prosecutors to prioritize victims' rights.

Suspicious package with white powder sent to Manhattan DA's office following Trump's warning of violence.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg received a death threat in a letter containing powder, hours after former President Donald Trump warned of "potential death & destruction" if he is indicted by a grand jury in a criminal case led by Bragg. The letter contained a typewritten note threatening to kill Bragg and was found in the DA's mail room in a lower Manhattan building. The white powder in the envelope was found to be non-hazardous. Bragg is investigating a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels by Trump's then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen shortly before the 2016 presidential election.

Trump's Attacks on Manhattan DA Bragg and Potential Indictment Cause Stir in NYC

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's lawyer has told House GOP committee chairs to back off from their investigation into his office's probe of former President Donald Trump's role in the hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels. Bragg's general counsel described the letter as "an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution," and noted it came after Trump spread unfounded claims he would be arrested Tuesday. Bragg is believed to be nearing a charging decision in his office's long-running probe into Trump and his business dealings.
