“We have been faced with compressed and expedited schedules in every one of those trials,” Blanche informed the magistrate. “We — meaning myself, the firm and President Trump — have been put into an impossible position.”
Due to his choice to pursue Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Bragg is facing two lawsuits. The complaints accuse misconduct related to a hush money payment made by Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.

Trump is accused of 34 offenses, including forging financial records to hide the payment.
In June, Fox News reported: “The Heritage Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank, has sued Bragg under suspicions that he and his office coordinated or communicated with the Justice Department, the White House, and Rep. Daniel Goldman, D-N.Y., about the prosecution. In its lawsuit, Heritage claims that such actions eventually led to investigations by several U.S. House committees into Bragg’s conduct.”
“Regrettably, these questions have not been met with answers. These reports have raised concerns in many circles based in large part upon the longstanding history of President Trump’s political opponents coordinating their activities to systematically weaponize the criminal justice system against him and thereby pervert the course of Justice,” states an initial legal filing.
According to a complaint filed by Heritage, Bragg and his group solicited pro bono assistance from well-known white-collar litigation companies. They are requesting a court ruling stating that the sought papers must be given in accordance with the New York Freedom of Information Law.
In addition, the group is requesting that Bragg and his team provide the necessary records and desist from seeking any further fees or expenditures related to the particular request mentioned in the case.
Heritage’s government oversight division’s director, Mike Howell, stated that the group believes Bragg was “coordinating, or otherwise communicating” with Trump’s political opponents “there’s reason to believe Bragg was a prolific communicator” via cellphone.
