Elie Honig, once a colleague of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, called Bragg’s “contorted” case against former President Donald Trump an “ill-conceived, unjustified mess” in a Friday op-ed for New York Magazine.
Honig served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2004 to 2012 and worked alongside Bragg. Honig, who now works as a legal analyst for CNN, criticized the legitimacy of the case. He noted its “unprecedented” and “obscure” nature and called the charges “inventive” and “inflated.”
