NEW YORK — The unprecedented indictment of former President Donald Trump in New York has thrust the top prosecutor in Manhattan into the spotlight.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr., a Harvard grad and New York native, picked up the investigation into Trump that never got off the ground during his predecessor's tenure.
From 2006 to 2009 Bragg served as the New York City Council's chief of litigations and investigations before moving to the Southern District of New York as an assistant U.S. attorney. In 2017, then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman appointed Bragg as the Deputy Attorney General of New York.
During the campaign, Bragg spoke openly about the DA's investigations into Trump and cited his experience in the AG's office as a qualification. He won the election and assumed office in January 2022, becoming the first Black Manhattan DA.
