Donald Trump's threats to NY DA Alvin Bragg Violate Both NY and fed criminal statutes. - G Kirschner [View all]

As former president Donald Trump continues to violate federal and local laws, this time by threatening the very prosecutor who in preparing to indict him for his earlier crimes in New York, the American people are left to wonder why no law enforcement officials have seen fit to step up and address these crimes by charging Donald Trump.

Trump's threats violate New York State law section 195.05 - threatening a government official in an attempt to interfere with official duties. Trump threats also violate federal law - 18 US Code section 875c - be transmitting in interstate commerce a threat to injure a person, which is precisely what Trump did when he posted (thereby transmitting in interstate commerce) a picture of himself appearing two swing a baseball bat at DA Bragg.
