Manhattan DA Bragg Brings Trump to Trial Over 2016 Hush Money Payments
- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is bringing Trump to trial over alleged hush money payments during 2016 election.
- Bragg has faced intense criticism from Trump and supporters, who accuse him of partisan prosecution.
- First-ever criminal trial of a former president will test Bragg's claim that this is an apolitical, standard financial crime case.
- Bragg surprised many by pausing then reviving Trump investigation once in office, leading to resignations.
- Bragg won tax evasion conviction of Trump Organization and CFO last year before bringing new indictment against Trump personally.
