Alvin Bragg’s Own Former Colleague, Casts Doubt on the ‘Contorted’ Case Against Trump

Elie Honig, once a colleague of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, called Bragg’s “contorted” case against former President Donald Trump an “ill-conceived, unjustified mess” in a Friday op-ed for New York Magazine.

Honig served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2004 to 2012 and worked alongside Bragg. Honig, who now works as a legal analyst for CNN, criticized the legitimacy of the case. He noted its “unprecedented” and “obscure” nature and called the charges “inventive” and “inflated.”

“Here, prosecutors got their man, for now at least — but they also contorted the law in an unprecedented manner in their quest to snare their prey,” Honig wrote.

He laid out a list of “undeniable facts” that cast doubts on the legitimacy of the conviction.

He cited the case’s Judge, Juan Manuel Merchan, and his donation to an anti-Trump operation.
