Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley said Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case against former President Donald Trump is over something that is 'not a recognizable crime.'

Fox News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley explained why former President Trump's New York hush money case is a 'Frankenstein case' on 'America Reports.' As jury selection began Monday, Turley said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took a 'dead misdemeanor' and attached it to a 'dead alleged felony' and 'zapped it back into life.

The problem is the federal government doesn't view it as a crime. They decided not to prosecute. And most election experts say that this is the type of thing that's failed in the past. So this bizarre indictment is now going to be an equally bizarre trial. And to this day, there's some confusion as to Bragg's actual theory as to what was the exact crime that Trump was hiding from all of this.
