‘He’s a Hypocrite’: Alvin Bragg Slammed with 2 Lawsuits at Once Over Trump Indictment; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Sued by Heritage Foundation to Release Trump Case Records

‘He’s a Hypocrite’: Alvin Bragg Slammed with 2 Lawsuits at Once Over Trump Indictment:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is facing two lawsuits after refusing to share key details about the background of his legal vendetta against former President Donald Trump.

Trump was indicted in March on multiple counts of falsifying business records in connection with payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The Heritage Foundation has filed Freedom of Information requests under New York state laws to determine whether Bragg was actively plotting with congressional Democrats and if there were side deals cut for legal services.

Mike Howell, director of Heritage’s Oversight Project, contends Bragg was “coordinating, or otherwise communicating” with Trump’s political opponents, according to Fox News.

“The fact we have to file a lawsuit against Bragg who says he can’t produce these records and says he doesn’t have the systems to do so, is proof-positive of another dual standard of justice at play in this country,” Howell said.

“You have a weaponized actor who’s going after the former president on a loony theory about his document retention, whereas the DA can’t even keep his own documents, and it’s in violation of the information laws he is bound by,” he continued. —>READ MORE HERE

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued by Heritage Foundation to release Trump case records:

The Heritage Foundation filed two lawsuits against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday to force his office to turn over records related to its investigation into former President Donald Trump.

The lawsuits come after Bragg failed to comply with two Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL, requests relating to his communications with the Justice Department, the White House, and any Democratic lawmakers regarding his prosecution of Trump.

Bragg and his office charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in April. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges, which stem from hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., claimed in its first lawsuit that Bragg’s suspected communication with the DOJ led to several House GOP committee investigations.

“Regrettably, these questions have not been met with answers. These reports have raised concerns in many circles based in large part upon the longstanding history of President Trump’s political opponents coordinating their activities to systematically weaponize the criminal justice system against him and thereby pervert the course of Justice,” the first lawsuit obtained by the Washington Examiner stated.

A second lawsuit filed by Heritage alleged that the district attorney obtained pro-bono assistance from major law firms and is asking the court to force Bragg to provide documents related to those firms and bar his team from “seeking costs and fees for the request at issue in this case.” —>READ MORE HERE
