The prosecutor from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office leading questioning of adult film actress Stormy Daniels in former President Trump’s unprecedented criminal trial donated to President Biden’s campaign in 2020 and a number of other Democratic politicians and organizations over the years, Fox News Digital has learned.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Daniels Tuesday as she testified as part of former President Trump’s unprecedented criminal trial.
Trump defense attorneys told Judge Juan Merchan Tuesday afternoon they would motion for a mistrial amid Daniels’ «prejudicial» testimony. Hoffinger said the claim was without basis, and Merchan ultimately denied the defense’s request.
Hoffinger’s donations to Biden came during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Federal Election Commission records show.
Hoffinger donated $500 to Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020 — a donation of $250 in February 2020 and another donation of $250 in March 2020.
Hoffinger also donated more than $900 to ActBlue during the 2020 cycle. ActBlue is an online fundraising platform for Democratic candidates, progressive organizations, and nonprofits.
Hoffinger also donated to a number of other Democratic congressional campaigns in 2020 and 2018. Hoffinger was hired by Bragg’s office in 2022, after the political contributions were made.
The revelations come as Republicans investigate alleged politicization of the case against Trump.
«Joe Biden’s witch hunt against President Donald Trump happening in New York City is blatant election interference,» House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik told Fox News Digital Tuesday. «The lead Democrat prosecutor is a donor to Joe Biden just like the judge.
