George Washington University professor Jonathan Turley revealed why Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump is now “falling apart” after Trump last week announced he may be indicted amid a flurry of grand jury activity.

“The problem is that Bragg has long been searching for a crime in the criminal code to fulfill his pitch during his campaign that he was the man for voters who wanted to bag Trump,” Turley wrote in an opinion article for the New York Post published late last week. Bragg has been investigating whether Trump violated campaign finance laws in 2016 when a so-called hush money payment to adult performer Stormy Daniels was allegedly misclassified.
