Last Updated: April 8, 2022 at 12:45 a.m. ET
NEW YORK (AP) Refuting suggestions that hes lost interest in going after Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Thursday a criminal investigation into the former president and his business practices is continuing without fear or favor despite a recent shakeup in the probes leadership.
In a rare public statement, Bragg denied that the three-year investigation was winding down or that a grand jury term expiring this month would impede his offices ability to bring charges.
Citing secrecy rules, the district attorney said he couldnt discuss details of the probe but pledged to publicly disclose findings when its over.
