A little more than a month after two of his top prosecutors resigned in protest, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) broke his silence on Thursday to insist that his criminal investigation into the Trump Organization continues. “In recent weeks, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has been repeatedly asked whether our investigation concerning former President Donald J. Trump, the Trump Organization, and its leadership is continuing,” Bragg’s statement began. The New York Times’s initial report suggested that they were frustrated because they wanted to pursue charges against former President Trump, and Bragg vetoed that decision. New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), who has been investigating Trump, his family and his business in a civil probe, revealed her cooperation with Vance that day. Just as Trump appeared to be in his greatest legal peril, Bragg’s criminal investigation seemed to unravel.
