Manhattan DA backed off indicting Trump because he was 'focused on the risk that we could lose': ex-prosecutor

Raw Story  

A special prosecutor who quit the team earlier this year says Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. backed off from the notion of indicting former President Donald Trump because he was worried about losing the case. “He and the new team were focused on the risk that we could lose the case,” Mark Pomerantz told The Cutting Edge, a podcast hosted by Columbia Law School professor John C. Coffee Jr. and U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff. Were the facts too complicated to explain in the format that we were using?” While Pomerantz admitted the evidence against Trump was complicated, he says that prosecutors found that Trump repeatedly lied to banks to obtain loans that “would not have been made, except for the fact that Donald Trump gave the banks personal financial statements and attested to their accuracy." Republican blows up on Biden appointee at House hearing In July last year, the Trump Organization and its long-serving finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, were charged with 15 felony fraud and tax evasion charges.
