"I and others believe that your decision not to authorize prosecution now will doom any future prospects that Mr. Trump will be prosecuted for the criminal conduct we have been investigating," the letter continued."We believe that the prosecution would prevail if charges were brought and the matter were tried to an impartial jury."
Bragg spokesperson Danielle Filson stressed that the investigation into Trump was still going, saying in a statement that"a team of experienced prosecutors is working every day to follow the facts and the law. Filson added that there was"nothing more we can or should say at this juncture about an ongoing investigation."
