Manhattan da Bragg won the Democratic primary after Trump’s pursuit

The Manhattan district prosecutor Alvin Bragg beat his moderate challenger to obtain the democratic appointment to serve another mandate in his post on Tuesday.

Bragg, a renowned legal adversary of the president Donald Trump, Defeated Patrick Timmins, who had run on a more moderate platform. Timmins had criticized Bragg for omitting certain crimes, and his campaign underlined the case of a repeat offender carrying out a targeted attack against two justice officers.

Bragg, who won Tuesday primary with more than 70% of the vote, had won a conviction against Trump before his white house re -election in November. The Bragg’s office has filed a legal memorandum calling for judge Juan Merchan to put Trump’s conviction until after his second term.

“The immunity of the elected president does not exist. And even after the inauguration, the temporary immunity of the defendant as an exercise president will still not justify the extreme distribution of rejecting the verdict of unanimous guilt of the jury and to wipe the already ended phases of this criminal procedure”, the file of the court of Tuesday by the states of the Gragg’s office.

Trump was found guilty of 34 falsification leaders Commercial files in the Manhattan case in May 2024. The Bragg’s office worked to prove that Trump falsified commercial files to hide a payment of $ 130,000 to the former Stormy Daniels porn star before the 2016 elections to calm his affirmations of an alleged case with Trump in 2006.

Trump maintained his innocence in the case and has been suppressed several times as an example of the law promoted by the Democrats in order to harm his electoral efforts before November.

The Bragg’s office acknowledged that Trump cannot be sentenced as president, but argued that M Ercha had various options to keep the case on ice until 2029 and condemn Trump following his second presidential administration.

“(N) o The principle of immunity prevents additional procedures before the inauguration of the defendant. And even if the judgment was rendered at the time of the defendant’s inauguration, there is no legal obstacle to postpone the conviction before the defendant’s mandate,” said the file.

The DA office has argued that a procedural suspension in the case would free the former president and to come “from any immediate obligation in this case during his mandate, while respecting the public interest to respect the rule of law and preserve the significant aspects of the criminal process which have already taken place.” The DA office had already called for a suspension in the case after the elections, the Tuesday file dubbing on this argument.

“Admittedly, people do not dispute that presidential immunity requires accommodation during the mandate of a president. But the extreme remedy to reject the indictment and to leave the jury’s verdict is not justified in the light of several alternative dwellings which would fully respond to the concerns raised by presidential immunity,” said their file.
