Donald Trump is reportedly planning to ramp up his attacks on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after he became the first former president to be criminally indicted last week — but legal experts say it could backfire.
Trump was indicted by a grand jury last week on more than 30 counts related to hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election by his former lawyer Michael Cohen, according to multiple reports. Over the weekend, the former president, who has denied any wrongdoing and described the investigation as a "witch hunt", told people close to him that it was time to politically "rough 'em up," according to the Guardian.
