Former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark decried selective leaks and the withholding of information from the general public as the nation waits in anticipation for former President Donald Trump to be arraigned on charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Bragg’s office confirmed an indictment against Trump on Thursday evening, but the indictment remains sealed ahead of Trump’s initial court appearance on Tuesday. Clark questioned the decision to announce the indictment and allow rumors about the case to circulate throughout the news media and general public for several days before the charges are actually revealed.
