MSNBC host Joy Reid praised some of the Black public officials prosecuting former President Trump, saying Monday 'my DEIs are bringing it home.' Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was the first person to criminally prosecute Trump, and it was 'wonderfully poetic,' Reid said. DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, has become a hot topic of debate as conservative governments like Florida and Texas have banned such programs from college campuses.
Bragg filed the motion minutes after the second day of Trump's trial got underway in Manhattan. It relates to Merchan's gag order against Trump, which prohibits the former president from speaking publicly about prosecutors, witnesses, court officials and their families. In his motion, Bragg argued Trump has 'willfully violated this Court's order by publishing several social media posts attacking two known witnesses— Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.
