Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg made a significant move in the courtroom on Friday as the prosecution's next witness, Jennie Tomalin, a senior analyst in executive relations at Verizon, took the stand. Bragg, who is leading the case, entered the courtroom and took a seat in the first row.
Alvin Bragg's indictment of former President Donald Trump includes charging him with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump, in response, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges brought against him.
The charges against Trump specifically relate to allegations of falsifying business records in the first degree concerning hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
Since the indictment, Alvin Bragg has been the target of repeated criticism from Donald Trump, who has labeled the legal proceedings as a 'witch hunt' aimed at preventing him from campaigning for president during an election year.
