The severity of this action is magnified as the DA’s office failed to notify Donald Trump’s defense team about the missing pages, thereby raising serious legal and ethical questions. Under New York law, tampering with evidence is a serious offense, potentially classifiable as a class E felony, which involves the suppression of evidence through concealment, alteration, or destruction to influence a case.
Amidst these accusations, Donald Trump Jr. took to the X platform to express his outrage, stating, “How on earth is this not a felony committed by Bragg and his minions? It sure would be if team Trump did it.” His post continued to criticize the state of journalism, lamenting the lack of coverage on what he describes as an “ongoing travesty.”
Alvin Bragg, whose campaign partly focused on legally pursuing Trump, had indicted the former president in April 2023 on multiple counts of falsifying business records. These charges are linked to allegations that Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, made undisclosed payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, purportedly to silence her.
While these accusations were previously investigated by several legal bodies including the Federal Election Commission and the Southern District of New York, which found no grounds for charges, Bragg revisited and initiated charges against Trump. This move by Bragg has been criticized as legal overreach by numerous observers, including prominent conservative voices like Mark Levin.

Levin, a respected attorney and media personality, shared his legal opinion on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, asserting that Bragg’s actions could potentially lead to serious legal repercussions, including disbarment. Levin’s critique extends to what he perceives as a violation of the federal Brady rule, which mandates disclosure of all exculpatory evidence in legal proceedings. He forcefully argued, “Sean, it’s my opening argument on why Alvin Bragg should be disbarred, why he should be facing a — charges for suborning perjury, which I’ve talked about on my radio show for the last three days, and also why he’s in violation of the Brady [Rule].”
The implications of these allegations are vast, hinting at potential misconduct within the Manhattan DA’s office. As the legal battles unfold, the focus remains on the integrity of the judicial process and the standards to which public prosecutors are held. The case continues to garner significant media attention and public scrutiny, especially from conservative outlets and commentators who view the prosecutorial tactics used in this case as both controversial and constitutionally dubious.
