Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen spoke to the New York District Attorney in Manhattan for the 19th time on Tuesday.

Returning from answering questions, he said that he's been very critical of Alvin Bragg after two main prosecutors resigned due to Bragg allegedly refusing to bring this case.

The federal and state prosecutors overseeing many investigations into Donald Trump? But even as Donald Trump enters his 'fat Elvis' stage, it's imperative to take his threat to democracy seriously. It's still not clear who's gonna stand up to him in a Republican primary."
