Trump and his inner orbit are already drawing up ways to take revenge on Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA investigating the former president and the Stormy Daniels hush-money scheme
Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrives during a rally hosted by the former president at the Delaware County Fairgrounds on April 23, 2022 in Delaware, Ohio. Last week, Trump announced his endorsement of J.D. Vance in the Ohio Republican Senate primary.
For months, Trump and several of his political and policy advisers have outlined legal strategies for how they could use the Justice Department to pursue certain prosecutors and DAs, the sources tell. Bragg had already been near the top of Trump’s wish list of potential targets for a while.
Recently, “I have been [present] when the [former] president has asked people to draw up a plan for how to deal with Alvin Bragg and how the Department of Justice could respond to Bragg’s ‘illegal’ investigation of the president,” one of the sources familiar with the situation recalls. “This happened after we casually discussed with him some of our ideas for how this could work, and how it corresponds with his bigger agenda for ‘law and order’ policies.
Within the past several months, some top advisers to Trump have repeatedly briefed him on federal law enforcement guidelines and statutes that could be used by a second Trump DOJ to investigate and possibly criminally charge Bragg, along with other prosecutors who’ve attracted Trump’s ire in recent years, according to the sources.
During such deliberations with Trump, policy advisers have told him that, should he return to the White House, his next Justice Department should unleash its civil rights division against Bragg. In this scenario, Bragg would be investigated and perhaps charged not only for allegedly politically motivated actions against Trump, but for supposedly “racist law enforcement practices,” sources recount.
