Alvin Bragg Proposes Options to Preserve Trump Convictions

Manhattan DA offers legal paths to maintain Trump’s felony convictions while addressing presidential immunity concerns.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has submitted a legal brief outlining three potential approaches to preserve Donald Trump’s 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records.
The proposed options include sentencing Trump before his inauguration, deferring sentencing until after his presidency, or recording the convictions without sentencing during his term.
Bragg rejected Trump’s argument for dismissing the case based on presidential immunity, stating that no legal principle prevents sentencing a president-elect.
The DA’s office emphasized that dismissing the case entirely would undermine public confidence in the justice system and set a concerning precedent.
Judge Juan Merchan has yet to rule on the proposals, as Trump’s legal team continues to push for a complete dismissal of the case.
