President Donald Trump said Friday that he plans to ask the state of New York to close the book on the criminal case brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

In 2023, Bragg brought 34 felony charges against Trump regarding allegedly falsified business records used to conceal “hush money” payments made to Stormy Daniels to prevent her from speaking publicly about an alleged sexual relationship she had with Trump. Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, was the prosecution’s star witness but has since publicly stated that Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James coerced him into cooperating.
