Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit a Manhattan bodega after a court appearance on Tuesday. The bodega, formerly known as the Sanaa Convenience Store, was the site of a controversial incident in July 2022.
During that time, Jose Alba, an employee at the store, was charged with second-degree murder after stabbing a man who had entered the store and pushed him. Alba and his legal team argued that he acted in self-defense, leading to the eventual dismissal of the charges. The incident had sparked criticism against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is currently overseeing a hush money case involving Trump.
