New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is now facing two separate lawsuits concerning his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
In March, Bragg indicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after a months-long investigation into hush-money payments made to Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign.
The Heritage Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank, has sued Bragg alleging that he and his office coordinated or communicated with the Justice Department, the White House, and Rep. Daniel Goldman, (D-N.Y.) about the prosecution.
“Regrettably, these questions have not been met with answers. These reports have raised concerns in many circles based in large part upon the longstanding history of President Trump's political opponents coordinating their activities to systematically weaponize the criminal justice system against him and thereby pervert the course of Justice,” a filing for the first lawsuit reads.
The separate lawsuit also filed by Heritage alleges that Bragg and his team retained pro bono assistance from prominent law firms that specialize in white-collar litigation.
According to Heritage, Bragg has largely blocked the group's requests for communications between the suspected parties, which the group says they have a right to see under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).
Mike Howell, director of Heritage's Oversight Project, said they believe Bragg was “coordinating, or otherwise communicating” with Trump's political opposition and that “there's reason to believe Bragg was a “prolific communicator” via cellphone.
“The fact we have to file a lawsuit against Bragg who says he can't produce these records and says he doesn't have the systems to do so, is proof-positive of another dual standard of justice at play in this country,” Howell said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“You have a weaponized actor who's going after the former president on a loony theory about his document retention, whereas the DA can't even keep his own documents, and it's in violation of the information laws he is bound by,” he continued.

Hope Bragg gets his azz sued off then loses his job.
Hell, the Department of Justice will hirer, they are looking for corrupted lawyers!
Bragg is a political pig. I’d like to see him sued and lose his license. Maybe the ABA should question some of these overreaching dinks. The is to protect, not harass.
Justice & Victory Hooray
I hope the heritage foundation goes after Bragg with everything they have.
Trump who will win by a landslide on November 5, 2024, will also go after Bragg,
clinton, Comey, Obama, Biden, Wray, Garland, Smith.
Trump won’t be able to go after anyone until he fires all the lawyers in the DOJ and the FBI!
When all is said and done I hope poor Mr. Bragg is left looking like thumb-sucking little boy in short pants.
And do the damn Judges stop this miscarriage of justice, hell no they just pile on! The justice in this nation has become worse than third world, it is full blown communist! Double and triple standards of justice is NO justice at all!
