Bragg’s case against former President Trump will go to trial this week, with jury selection beginning on Monday.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has raised over $800,000 since indicting former President Donald Trump over the payments that his 2016 presidential campaign made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the election.
State campaign finance data shows that Bragg has raked in $845,253 between March 30, 2023, and the latest reporting date, January 12, 2024. Donations from New York State accounted for an overwhelming majority, 72 percent, of the over 800 contributions he received over that time period. Only one of his 20 largest donations was an out-of-state contribution.
On March 30, 2023, Trump became the first U.S. president to ever be indicted, after a Manhattan grand jury charged him with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, a low-level felony in New York. The indictment was unveiled by Bragg’s office five days later at Trump’s arraignment, during which the former president pleaded not guilty to all charges.
