CRIMINAL JUSTICE/INVESTIGATIONS/MICHAEL COHEN/RON DESANTIS: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday as a ‘Soros-funded prosecutor’ who is ‘pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office’ as he reportedly considers indicting former President Donald Trump on charges related to alleged hush-money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
‘I’ve seen rumors swirl, I have not seen any facts yet, and so I don’t know what’s going to happen,’ DeSantis said in Florida when asked about the potential indictment of the former president…
The potential charges against Trump stem from the $130,000 hush-money payment that then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen made to Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.”
