Bragg Tries Backpedaling, Tells House GOP That Trump ‘Created a False Expectation That He Would be Arrested’

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has a lot of egg on his face.

House GOP members demanded Bragg give them answers about probing into President Donald Trump’s alleged hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Bragg responded as one would with his back to the wall because, as we have seen, the grand jury is not cooperating with him. He’s backpedaling and trying to cast the light off of him. It also sounds like he’s trying to plan a way to blame Republicans if he should drop the case or the grand jury doesn’t indict Trump.

“Your letter dated march 20, 2023, (the ‘Letter’), in contrast, is an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution,” wrote Bragg’s office. “The Letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry.”

Bragg’s office claims the investigation, which started before Bragg took office in January 2022, has been consistent with his “oath to faithfully execute the laws of the State of New York.”

The office also told the members that Bragg would “publicly state the conclusion of our investigation- whether we conclude our work without bringing charges, or move forward with an indictment.”

“And if charges are brought at the conclusion, it will be because the rule of law and faithful execution of the District Attorney’s duty require it.”

Bragg originally suspended the investigation when he took office.

Bragg changed his mind when trump announced his candidacy for 2024l.
