It was just weeks into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s time in office, and he was being assailed on multiple fronts. Whatever Bragg decides on the Trump question will undoubtedly become a defining part of his tenure as district attorney. Days after assuming office, Bragg issued a memo outlining his prosecutorial policy and describing a more lenient approach to certain crimes. This departure spurred another round of public criticism for Bragg, who issued his statement pledging that the Trump investigation was ongoing.
