The March 27 press conference on West 125th Street comes as Bragg continues to face death threats for his investigation into the former president’s alleged hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels and was aimed to support the DA as both the former president and his rabid fanbase slam the prosecutor as an “animal,” threatening “death and destruction” if the indictment occurs.
Last week, Bragg was sent an envelope containing white powder and a threat on his life. While the substance was deemed non-hazardous, bomb threats and other intimidation efforts from Trump’s fringe, die-hards continue to pour intimidation efforts. It is with this in mind that several politicians are attempting to draw a line in the sand and stand by Bragg during the unprecedented process.
Council Member Julie Menin also joined in the support and recalled her years serving as a lawyer for Consumer Affairs, at which time she stated that she worked alongside Bragg, underscoring his professionalism, intelligence, and ability to fearlessly prosecute difficult cases. This includes cases against the Trump Foundation and Steve Bannon; however, Davis added that Bragg has never faced this level of threat that he does now.
