Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, saying Bragg brought forward the case against him after other investigative bodies passed.
In remarks to reporters after court May 6, Trump also singled out the actions of the Federal Election Commission and the U.S. attorney’s office in New York’s southern district.
“The FEC said they threw it away,” Trump said, referring to the Federal Elections Commission. “They said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding.’ Southern district didn’t bring the case. Nobody brought the case and then Alvin Bragg brought the case.”
Trump said Bragg brought the case “when I am running and leading” in the polls. He said, “They all want to keep me off the campaign trail.”
