«If I were his lawyer.I would be mindful of not committing some other criminal offense like obstruction of governmental administration,» Cyrus Vance Jr. said.
Former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said on Sunday that Donald Trump should be cautious about what he says about current Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in order to avoid more potential charges after being indicted last week.
On Thursday, a Manhattan grand jury indicted the former president following an investigation by Bragg’s office into an alleged hush money payment of $130,000 paid by Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet ahead of the 2016 presidential election about an affair she claims she had with Trump in 2006.
The former president has denied having an affair with Daniels and has maintained his innocence in the case, accusing prosecutors of engaging in a politically motivated witch- hunt. Prosecutors, however, believe the payment violated campaign finance laws.
