Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is being accused of hiding hundreds of pages of
exculpatory evidence from the New York grand jury.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett on "Hannity" on Tuesday night accused Bragg of the
prosecutorial misconduct and furthermore called for the disbarment of the attorneys involved in
the travesty of justice.

"I mentioned it yesterday, I think, when Bob Costello got into that Grand Jury room and told
them, 'Wait a minute. You don’t have the hundreds of pages I handed over to Alvin Bragg over
here? You only have six cherry-picked documents?' You know, hiding from grand juries
exculpatory information is reprehensible and unconscionable," Jarrett said. "And the conduct of
Alvin Bragg and his henchman Mark Pomeranz, who specifically says in his book, 'We’re

targeting zombies because we don’t like his beliefs,' those guys should face disbarment
proceedings."
Harvard Law Professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz added his perspective on the charges being
brought by the Manhattan D.A.
"You know, in my new book, "Get Trump," I go through all of those four allegations and I say,
there's plenty of smoke, but there's no fire," Dershowitz argued. "And if there were a fire, it
would be set by arsonists."
"There is no crime committed in any of the four allegations, and I prove that categorically in my
book "Get Trump," he added. "Where did I get the name? Get Trump. I got that from Letitia
James' campaign slogan. Her campaign promise was, 'I promise you I will get Trump'."
"And I want to add something new that hasn't been said before," he continued. "I think that Bob
Costello has changed this case dramatically. I think that Bragg note now only has two possible
results from that. Number one, he can say, alright, 'I'm going to try to make the case without
Cohen.' He cannot use Cohen as a witness anymore."
"That would be unethical because of the testimony that Costello gave," he went on. "Or he could
say, 'Look, I have to drop the case.' He may not be able to make it without Cohen. But if he can't
make it without Cohen, he can't make it, because no ethical prosecutor is allowed to put on as a
witness, somebody who has told the lies and has contradicted himself so much."
"So I think that Bob Costello — it's a game changer," he added. "I think maybe that's a reason for
the delay here. I think ethical experts are now telling Bragg, wait a minute, you cannot use Cohen.
So if you can make it through Pecker, if you can make it through some of the other people, okay,
go ahead. But if you can't make it without Cohen, you cannot bring this charge."
On Tuesday, a former legal adviser to Michael Cohen, attorney Robert Costello, was called as a key
witness in the New York grand jury investigation into former President Donald Trump’s alleged
payment to adult actress Stormy Daniels. Costello claimed that testimony from the former Trump
attorney is “far from solid evidence.”
Costello told reporters following his testimony that Cohen is “totally unreliable” in the probe
against Trump. He added that the disgraced lawyer is “a convicted perjurer.”

“I’m the one who decided to do this. A lot of people cautioned me against it because I have
nothing to gain. The only thing I’m doing is trying to tell the truth to the grand jurors because I
read all these lies in the media that are being promoted by one side,” said Costello. “If you see the
full picture … If they want to go after Donald Trump and they have solid evidence, so be it.”
“But Michael Cohen is far from solid evidence,” added Costello. “This guy, by any prosectors’
standard—and I used to be deputy chief of the criminal division in the Southern District of New
York—I wouldn’t have touched a guy like Michael Cohen, especially if he’s a convicted perjurer.”
As noted by the Epoch Times, Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to "charges of tax evasion, making
false statements to a federally insured bank, and campaign finance violations in connection with
an alleged $130,000 payment to a lawyer representing adult actress Stormy Daniels, whose real
name is Stephanie Clifford."
"Cohen claims that Trump, during his 2016 presidential campaign, directed him to arrange the
payment to Daniels as 'hush money' in order to buy her silence after she claimed to have had an
affair with Trump," the report added. "The money was allegedly paid using campaign funds, a
violation of campaign finance law."
Donald Trump is expected to face a potential indictment from the grand jury on Wednesday. The
former president will reportedly turn himself in to authorities to face trial.
