The charge against Trump, brought by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, makes him the former president to ever be criminally charged.

“I stand by my testimony and the evidence that I provided to the district attorney of New York,” Cohen said on Thursday during an interview on MSNBC. After the prosecutors’ departure, Bragg hired a former colleague at the New York Attorney General’s Office — Matthew Colangelo, who helped lead a lawsuit against the Trump Foundation that led to its demise — and the district attorney’s probe appeared to kick into higher gear. Bragg inherited the Trump case from his predecessor, Cy Vance, and both district attorneys initially indicated there wasn’t enough evidence to bring a case against the former president.

And while the case could stretch beyond November 2024, a conviction before then would spark a host of constitutional issues. The district attorney’s office requested that Trump surrender on Friday, but Trump’s lawyers replied that the timeline was too tight, saying the U.S. He did not commit any crime,” the attorneys Joe Tacopina and Susan Necheles said in a statement.

From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats - the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country - have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. The Justice Department has a longtime policy that it is likely unconstitutional to prosecute a sitting president in federal court. The district attorney in Atlanta has for two years been investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to meddle in Georgia’s 2020 vote count. The indictment, confirmed by Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Trump, and other people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss sealed criminal charges, is an extraordinary development after years of investigations into his business, political and personal dealings. Cohen pleaded guilty to those charges and unrelated tax evasion counts and served time in federal prison.
