Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Tuesday that graduate schools offering studies leading to a law degree will use the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office case against Donald Trump as an example to teach students what not to do.

Ratcliffe, an attorney who served as national intelligence director from 2020 to 2021, said the unsealed indictment of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg “clearly demonstrates” a politically motivated agenda.
