Prosecutor Bragg could be in legal trouble for "damaging press conference" against Trump

 

A lawyer alleges that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could be in legal trouble and his career in jeopardy following a "damaging press conference" he gave after impeaching former President Donald Trump.

In a Substack article, Daniel R. Street made a case against Bragg, alleging that he improperly skewed the case against the former president ahead of a trial later this year that indicated it was a major ethics violation that could lead to disbarment in normal circumstances.

“There are rules and ethical obligations placed on prosecutors, even though many Americans are unaware of these rules. For example, did you know that prosecutors are supposed to protect a defendant's right to a fair trial? Did you know that prosecutors are supposed to seek justice, not just convictions? Or that prosecutors are not supposed to make prejudicial public comments to the media about a defendant's credibility, character, or reputation or comment on the defendant's guilt or innocence? Did you know that prosecutors should not include unnecessary and irrelevant scandalous allegations in charging documents? Street's piece begins.
