Two prosecutors leading the Trump probe resigned after the Manhattan district attorney said he wasn't prepared to authorize an indictment against him, a source says
Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz, two senior prosecutors on the team, resigned last month -- one day after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg informed them that he wasn't prepared to move forward with criminal charges. The resignations followed weeks of internal debate and discussion over the strength of the evidence against Trump and whether it could pass the hurdle of proving a crime.
On the one hand, some prosecutors believed Trump spoke with a lot of hyperbole, but it wasn't clear whether they could show he acted with intent to defraud. Prosecutors also didn't have a victim who lost money from Trump's misstatements, people familiar said, a matter that might give a jury pause. Still some attorneys believed strongly that Trump should be held accountable and that the case was worth bringing even if they might lose, the people said.
