NY prosecutor eyeing Trump has faced repeated criticism for being soft on crime

The liberal New York City prosecutor allegedly set to arrest former President Donald Trump has a history of facing accusations he’s soft on crime.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office may arrest Trump this week after a years-long investigation involving the ex-president’s alleged hush payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2020 election campaign, Trump claims.

“It is our position that you have prematurely substituted your version of events for the fact-finding functions of the jury and neither honored your promise to the court or to my family to seek even a measure of accountability,” the brother of slain man James Murray, Steven Murray, wrote to Bragg in December.
