Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has resisted political pressure and endured withering criticism from both parties during his tumultuous 15 months in office, leaving some legal analysts surprised that he is preparing to knuckle under to demands to indict former President Trump.
It would be the first time a former president has ever been charged with a crime.
State, federal and local prosecutors, including Mr. Bragg’s predecessor Cyrus Vance, all passed on filing charges in the hush-money case., who teaches constitutional law at George Washington University, said Mr. Bragg halted pushing the case to a grand jury until Mr. Pomerantz’s book was released. In the memo, Mr. Bragg said the policies aimed to decriminalize poverty and mental illness, as well as balance fairness and public safety.
Criticism over Mr. Bragg only intensified after six New York Police Department officers were shot within his first few weeks in office.
