Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo blasted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg this week, claiming his case against Donald Trump “feeds cynicism” and is motivated by political bias.
“I don’t understand why Bragg is putting such emphasis on this case,” Cuomo said Friday night.
“A person breaks the law I get it, but on the state side this is a misdemeanor case. It’s really a federal case because he needs it to be a campaign finance fraud case which is a federal case and that’s what Bragg is going to have to do to get a felony out of this.”
“I think it’s all politics and that’s what I think the people of this country are saying,” Cuomo continued. “It just feeds that anger and that cynicism and the partisanship. It’s a coincidence that Bragg goes after Trump and Tish James goes after Trump and Georgia goes after Trump? That’s all a coincidence? I think it feeds the cynicism and that’s the cancer in our body politic right now.”
