Who is the prosecutor who brought the first American president to justice? The latest developments are highlighted

Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan office prosecutor who dared to investigate former President Donald Trump, officially making him the first American president to face the law, will undoubtedly be a name that will remain in history.

Bragg, now 49, is a former assistant New York state attorney general and Harvard-educated.

Later in 2022, the issue of crime and punishment in New York flared up again.

This is after a vendor stabbed a black person.

For this incident, Alvin Bragg charged the salesman with second-degree murder, but a protest, the charges against him were dropped.
