Donald Trump’s pretrial screeds against Alvin Bragg were filled with coded language that makes clear that this trial isn't just about the question of the former president's culpability. Trump, who’s accused Manhattan’s first Black district attorney of being “racist” against him, has called Bragg “lazy” and repeated false claims that he has refused to prosecute violent crime.

” Watters, of course, is referencing the infamous murder trial that was consumed by questions about race and racism, in which some have argued that the majority-Black jury acquitted Simpson, not because they thought he was innocent, but to send a message about anti-Black racism in the Los Angeles Police Department. And then you have folks like Rudy Giuliani overtly racializing the trial.
