NY Prosecutors Investigating Trump Resign, DA Alvin Bragg Refuses to Release Resignation Letters


Listen Later

The Daily Beast reported that New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is refusing to release the resignation letters submitted by the two top prosecutors - Pomerantz and Dunne - who had been assigned to the Trump Organization prosecution and the criminal investigation into Donald Trump himself. Reports are that the letters criticize DA Bragg for his refusal to focus on the case in a timely manner and for his apparent determination to forgo indicting Donald Trump for his crimes.
Troublingly, the NY DA's office is refusing to release the letters, claiming that the letters contain "too much information" and could compromise an ongoing investigation. This claim rings hollow. Are we to believe that the the two prosecutors included intimate investigative details in their resignation letters? Or is it far more likely that DA Bragg refuses to release them because the letters are deeply critical of Bragg's neglect of the case?
This highlights a fundamental and recurring problem America has encountered in recent years: a lack of accountability for high government officials who have committed crimes coupled with a troubling lack of transparency as to why our law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies are refusing to hold those officials accountable for their crimes.
This video explores how a lack of governmental transparency leads to a corrosion of public confidence in our institutions.
