DA Alvin Bragg gloats over Trump ‘hush money’ conviction: ‘I did my job’

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — the first prosecutor to put an American president on trial — gloated Thursday over his historic conviction of Donald Trump, saying, “I did my job.”

“Donald J Trump has been convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records,” the progressive prosecutor boasted as he was flanked by his team that tried the hush money case just after Trump was found guilty.

Bragg refused to answer whether he would seek jail time for Trump, who faces up to four years behind bars for each of the charges. At a minimum, the ex-president would be put on probation.

“This type of white-collar prosecution is core to what we do at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office,” Bragg continued, thanking each of the “12 everyday New Yorkers” who served on the jury for being “careful and “attentive” throughout the process.

“I did my job. Our job is to follow the facts and the law without fear or favor and that’s exactly what we did here. There are many voices out there, the only voice that matters is the voice of the jury and the jury has spoken,” he said.

Asked if he had a response to Trump singling him out for criticism — which included accusations that the case was an attempt to stop him from winning the 2024 presidential election — Bragg answered: “I do not.”
