Pomerantz said Bragg stubbornly refused to use testimony from Trump’s disgraced former personal lawyer,, pointing to a February 2022 meeting at which Bragg made his opposition to the idea crystal clear. Pomerantz said that the probe was “floundering” at the time and that he decided to focus on allegations that Trump paid hush money during his 2016 campaign to former porn star Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal to cover up affairs with them.Trump, who’s announced his intent to regain the White House in 2024, has denied cheating with — or paying off — either woman.
