“I’ve done a lot of cases that are considered no-win,” Bragg told CNN at the time, in December 2021.
Though Bragg’s ambitions are widely considered to be less lofty than some of his predecessors, the Trump trial will likely write both his political future and legacy.
Two months into office, Bragg was confronted by two senior attorneys leading the Trump investigation.
When Bragg refused to authorize them to seek an indictment they abruptly and noisily resigned, putting additional pressure on the new district attorney.
Trump eventually paid $2 million of his own money to a group of charities, and the foundation was dissolved.
