'No obedience in advance': Alvin Bragg said to have shown 'no intention of going quietly'

A lot of Donald Trump's legal problems vanished when he won the presidency, but one Trump prosecutor isn't backing down, a legal expert said Wednesday. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance raised the discussion, pointing to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's recent legal filing indicating that he isn’t ready to let Trump off the hook in his fraud case involving hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. “There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to defendant’s inauguration, because President-elect immunity does not exist,” Bragg’s office wrote in the 82-page filing urging Judge Juan Merchan to reject Trump’s request. Vance continued: "After delays to assess Trump’s claim that the case should be dismissed or at least he could not be sentenced because he was about to assume the presidency, the District Attorney flatly rejected Trump’s argument that the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling impacts their case and asked Judge Juan Merchan to proceed to sentencing." But Alvin Bragg, who won a hard-fought conviction, stood up for it today and stood up for it against Donald Trump," the ex-prosecutor wrote.
