EXCLUSIVE: Trump officials told Fox News Digital that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case is “effectively over,” after he requested a stay until 2029, marking a “major victory” for President Trump.
Trump officials told Fox News Digital that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case is “effectively over” after Bragg requested a stay until 2029, celebrating the development as a “major victory” for President-elect Trump.
Bragg on Tuesday requested a stay in New York v. Trump until 2029, as the president’s attorneys motion to dismiss the case entirely.
New York prosecutors said Tuesday that, while they are likely to oppose the argument, they are open to being briefed on Trump defense attorneys’ case for complete dismissal.
“Prosecutors are trying to save face”, a Trump official told Fox News Digital. “They know this case will soon be thrown out.”
Another official told Fox News Digital that New York prosecutors’ “fallback” is a “five-year delay.”
“No serious person believes this case will withstand that”, the official said.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung also told Fox News Digital that Bragg’s request for a stay is “a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American People who elected him in a landslide.”
“The Manhattan DA has conceded that this Witch Hunt cannot continue”, Cheung, who was tapped to serve as White House communications director, said. “The lawless case is now stayed, and President Trump’s legal team is moving to get it dismissed once and for all.”
Another source close to Trump and his legal team told Fox News Digital that Bragg’s move “represents a total failure of the prosecution.”
“Their case is in shambles and now everyone knows it is on its way to the ash heap of history”, the source told Fox News Digital.
