Alvin Bragg: “I'm ready to go wherever the facts take me. I believe we have to hold them accountable.”

I think that the better part of that argument is that we can`t have a system where anyone is above the law, all right? That is a bedrock principle of our entire judicial system, one standard of justice for all.

I`ve spent a career following the facts wherever they go. At the attorney general`s office, I led the team that held Trump and his children accountable for the misconduct with the Trump Foundation.

I could not see a world in which I would indict Trump and call Mr. Cohen as a prosecution witness.

I hope the victim's loved ones can take some measure of comfort that this defendant will finally face accountability in New York.
