The guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial shows how Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has helped warp New York City’s justice system.
Bragg’s case against Trump was nothing more than a bookkeeping crime trumped up into a felony under the theory that Trump purposefully misclassified hush money payments to deceive voters before an election. Or that it was done as a tax crime. Or that it was a false business record. Turns out, in Bragg’s justice system, the jury doesn’t have to agree on which crime they are convicting someone of in the first place.
