D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks Announcing 34-Count Felony Trial Conviction of Donald J. Trump 
Good evening. First and foremost I want to thank the jury for its service. Jurors perform a fundamental civic duty. Their service is literally the cornerstone of our judicial system.
Written Testimony: City Council Public Safety Committee, FY25 Budget & Oversight Hearings
Good afternoon, Chair Salaam and members of the Committee on Public Safety. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today regarding our Office’s Fiscal Year 2025 Preliminary Budget. We thank the City Council for its past support, the other four District Attorneys for their collaboration, and know that a safer and fairer city requires all of us working together.
D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks Introducing New “Hate Crimes Modernization Act”
Assault can be charged as a hate crime, but gang assault cannot. So, if one person beats up another person because of the victim’s race, that assault can be charged as a hate crime. But, inexplicably, if a group of people beats someone up because of their race, that gang assault (as the law calls it) cannot be charged as a hate crime. That needs to change.
D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks on Indictments in a Wide-Ranging Construction Fraud Scheme
The wide-ranging impact of this alleged corruption is significant. When the field is rigged, law-abiding companies and legitimate MWBEs are cheated out of much-needed contracts. And when executives care more about their bottom line than their employees, and more about their greed and lining their pockets than the law, hard-working New Yorkers suffer.
Written Testimony: City Council Public Safety Committee, FY24 Budget & Oversight Hearings
Good afternoon Chair Hanks and members of the Committee on Public Safety. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today regarding my Office’s Fiscal Year 2024 Preliminary Budget. We thank the City Council for its past support, my fellow District Attorneys for their collaboration, and know that a safer and fairer city requires all of us working together.
D.A. Bragg Delivers Remarks on New $9 Million Mental Health Initiative
It’s disconcerting and sometimes scary to see our neighbors who are plainly unwell whether its openly using drugs or behaving in a deserving manner, talking to themselves either above ground in our streets or below ground in our subways. These individuals need help. As do our neighborhoods and small businesses. We cannot ignore these issues and have people cycle through our court system again and again. By addressing these human needs, we address the broader needs of public safety in our community.
