Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has said that the legal cases against former President Donald Trump are effectively serving as a “legal version of an ankle bracelet,” affecting his campaigning ahead of the November elections.

The New York lawmaker made the comments in a statement to multiple media outlets outside Capitol Hill on Wednesday just one day before President Trump’s upcoming visit to the South Bronx.
