Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, saying Bragg brought forw

The Federal Election Commission’s general counsel found wrongdoing by then-President Donald Trump, but the case died after commissioners split on their vote along party lines.

In remarks to reporters after court May 6, Trump also singled out the actions of the Federal Election Commission and the U.S. attorney’s office in New York’s southern district., referring to the Federal Elections Commission."They said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding.’ Southern district didn’t bring the case. Nobody brought the case and then Alvin Bragg brought the case."

The complaints alleged that Cohen, Trump and others violated the Federal Election Campaign Act, the federal law regulating political campaign fundraising and spending, at Trump’s direction to influence the 2016 election."The available information indicates that Michael Cohen paid Stephanie Clifford $130,000 … with Trump’s express promise of repayment, for the purpose of influencing the 2016 election" by preventing Clifford from publicizing the allegation, it said.

Another deputy in Berman’s office later persuaded Barr to continue the investigation. It did not result in charges. The New York Times’ article about the book in September 2022 said that spokespersons for Barr and Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment. By the time Vance obtained the records, it was February 2021, early in Joe Biden’s presidency. Bragg was elected to replace Vance and took office in January 2022.

President Joe Biden said “do whatever the hell they want,” paused, and then said, “I guess I should clear my mind here a little bit.”“We cut the federal deficit by $160 billion because Medicare will no longer have to pay those exorbitant prices to Big Pharma.”
