Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday refused to say whether he has confidence in the Manhattan district attorney leading the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s alleged hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels that could result in an indictment.
The New York Democrat dodged multiple questions lobbed by reporters at the US Capitol regarding DA Alvin Bragg’s Trump probe — and gave a less-than-enthusiastic response when asked whether he has confidence in the 49-year-old prosecutor.
“Look, the bottom line, is — as I said — it’s premature to comment on what’s happening and we’ll have to wait and see what he does,” Schumer said.
The Senate Majority Leader gave a similar response when asked to comment on House Republicans who are criticizing the possible indictment of the 76-year-old former president as being politically motivated.
“Look, I think it is premature to talk about it. We don’t know what’s going to happen yet,” Schumer said.
