Manhattan District Attorney’s Office Investigating Former President Donald Trump for Alleged Role in Hush Money Scheme

Former President Donald Trump has been the subject of a years-long investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into his alleged role in a hush money scheme. The investigation, which was inherited by current District Attorney Alvin Bragg, has been drawing national attention as Bragg is the first Black district attorney in the office’s history.

On Saturday, Trump announced on social media that he anticipates he will be arrested in connection with the investigation within days. Trump’s announcement has raised questions about the nature of the charges, as some have speculated that the investigation is focusing on “iffy” matters and could be used to make the case that any charges against Trump are weak and manufactured.

Jack Smith, Atlanta prosecutor Fani Willis and Bragg are reportedly part of the investigation, though details have yet to be released. However, some have suggested that the investigation is focusing on “old, technical, small stuff” and have questioned why the investigation is being pursued now, when Trump should be held accountable for more serious crimes.

The outcome of the investigation remains to be seen, but it is clear that the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is taking the matter seriously and is determined to get to the bottom of the allegations against Trump. It is likely that more information will be released in the coming days as the investigation draws to a close.
