Legal pundits from various political backgrounds have also questioned the rationale behind Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s decision to prosecute these charges, traditionally considered misdemeanors and beyond the statute of limitations. Notably, the Southern District of New York declined to pursue these charges in 2018 during Trump’s presidency.
