Politico, like The New York Times an outlet harshly critical of Trump both as president and candidate, wrote: "Some wondered why Bragg revived a case he had appeared to leave for dead just months ago. Others questioned the specifics -- like how Bragg was able to elevate the 'falsification of business records' charges against Trump into felonies, a move that requires evidence that Trump attempted to conceal a second crime. Still, others focused on the delay in bringing charges -- six years after the core underlying conduct -- and anticipated that Trump would seek to toss the case for exceeding the statute of limitations, despite the assessment of some legal experts that the case is not time-barred. Bragg left those questions largely unanswered in Tuesday's filings and public comments.
