Greene calls for Bragg’s arrest for ‘prosecutorial misconduct’ in Trump case
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday called for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) to be arrested for “prosecutorial misconduct,” amid speculation that he is nearing an indictment of former President Trump for his alleged role in a 2016 hush money payment.
“Now it’s time to arrest Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for prosecutorial misconduct after hiding hundreds of pages of exculpatory evidence!” Greene tweeted. “Bragg is on the verge of indicting an innocent former President and top Presidential candidate against the opposing ruling party.”
“Bragg is breaking the law and trying to incite civil unrest with his Soros funded political war,” she added, connecting the Manhattan district attorney to billionaire and popular Republican target George Soros. “Hold him accountable!”
The Georgia congresswoman similarly accused Bragg of breaking the law and called for him to be disbarred while speaking to reporters on Wednesday.
“He didn’t show the grand jury hundreds of pages of evidence, and he should have done that,” Greene told reporters. “If they’re a grand jury, they need to have all the evidence there before they decide for an indictment … He should be disbarred if he’s going to be using his position to target the Republican Party’s top primary presidential candidate just for politics.”
Greene’s claims that the Manhattan district attorney withheld “hundreds of pages of evidence” appears to be a reference to comments made by Robert Costello, a former legal adviser to Michael Cohen.
