(DCNF)—Lawyer Marcia Clark predicted Tuesday that Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is likely to be voted out of office in 2025.
Bragg has faced intense scrutiny for appearing soft on criminals while pursuing high-profile prosecutions against President-elect Donald Trump and marine veteran Daniel Penny. Clark, on “Dan Abrams Live,” said that the Manhattan district attorney will “probably” lose his reelection bed in a similar fashion to Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon, who was ousted in November, pointing to Bragg’s perceived failure to prosecute property crimes.
WATCH:
“I think that Alvin Bragg has been in some hot water of his own, independently of whatever people may perceive as his liberal bias. But I think there is something in the air. People are pretty tired of people getting away with stuff, particularly when it comes to property crimes,” Clark said. “I know here in California, we’ve had a lot of problems with shoplifting and people complaining, I think on the East Coast as well.”
“You go into the CVS or whatever, a Walmart, everything’s locked up. You can’t buy deodorant without calling a store manager. Everybody’s tired of it and it really is enough already,” she continued. “So I think that all of the DAs that seem to be associated with that attitude of ‘we’re not going to prosecute that little stuff’ are probably going to be gone very soon.”
Over 27,000 felony crimes in Manhattan were reported in 2024 as of Nov. 10, marking a nearly 17% increase from the identical time frame in 2021, prior to Bragg’s tenure, according to New York Police Department documents, the New York Post reported. Rape, robbery, felony assault and grand larceny have all surged during Bragg’s time in office.
Bragg secured a conviction of Trump in May on 34 counts for falsifying business records to reimburse his former attorney Michael Cohen for a nondisclosure agreement with porn star Stormy Daniels. However, a jury acquitted Penny on Monday on charges of criminally negligent homicide in the death of homeless man Jordan Neely.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
