that would have affected the 2016 Presidential election. In the indictment of Michael Cohen, "Individual-1" was mentioned many times, and once he pleaded guilty, the SDNY was preparing to indict "Individual-1" who everyone knew was Donald Trump...unfortunately, Trump's AG, Bill Barr, had all references to "Individual-1" stricken from the case documents, and no charges were ever filed while Trump was President...a clear case of "Lawfare".
For NY's current AG and NYC DA to bring this case forward was wholly justified.
