Alvin Bragg’s Lawsuit Against Jim Jordan Off to Rough Start as Judge Gives Him the Bad News

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was always facing an uphill battle in his attempts to charge former President 👤Donald Trump with any number of campaign finance violations.

Despite the “successful” arraignment of Trump last week, Bragg still has a number of issues he’ll have to address to prove that the 34 felonious charges launched against the former president are legitimate.
