Supporters urge Trump to jail Manhattan district attorney if re-elected

Trumpists call on former president to prosecute opponents if he regains power, saying Biden has weaponised' justice department

Donald Trump's key supporters are urging him to prosecute and jail Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who led the criminal case resulting in his felony conviction, if the former president recaptures the White House in November.

The push to target Bragg, a Democrat, is being led by Steve Bannon, who served as Trump's White House strategist early in his first term and is himself being prosecuted by the same district attorney over allegations that he defrauded donors to a scheme to fund a wall along the US-Mexico border.
