We are releasing documents highlighting the numerous egregious errors in the politically-motivated prosecution of President Trump by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
This prosecution was a legal abomination and disgrace.
We are exposing the grave legal errors:
/2 For over a year, Alvin Bragg’s Office has used abusive and partisan lawfare to host a show trial persecution of President Trump.
The blatant disregard for the rule of law and politicization of the legal system is evident throughout this prosecution.
/3 To expose this abuse of prosecutorial power, AFL has systematically documented each of these issues and released them as one-page summaries.
/4 The Bragg prosecution failed on a wide range of issues, touching nearly every portion of criminal procedure…
/5 First, the indictment violated due process and, thus, the guarantee of a fair trial.
Second, the egregious judge’s bias was one of the many misapplications of the law.
Third, there were evidentiary issues that violated over a century of precedent. It is clear there were reversible errors every step of the way in the New York criminal prosecution.
/6 To document just how egregious each issue is, AFL has released a series of documents, each focusing on a discrete issue with the Bragg case.
This series explains the glaring legal errors, including…
/7🚨Violation of President Trump’s Sixth Amendment rights requiring a unanimous jury verdict to convict:
/8🚨How New York state lacked authority to bring violations of federal election law:
/9🚨How the prosecution violated the Molineux Rule governing the admissibility of certain testimony against President Trump:
/10🚨Why Judge Merchan should have recused himself, given clear biases:
/11🚨How the prosecution violated President Trump’s Due Process rights to fair notice of the crime he was charged with:
/12🚨How New York State Court was the incorrect court for the prosecution:
/13🚨The double standard the court employed when it came to the testimony of Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen versus the testimony of Brad Smith, and how that was used against President Trump:
/14🚨Omission of evidence relating to the Office of Government Ethics’ review of the classification of payments to Cohen:
America First Legal and the City of Huntington Beach are suing Gavin Newsom and the State of California to end the dangerous and illegal Sanctuary State Laws shielding criminal illegal aliens and endangering American citizens.
/2 AFL filed an amended lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach, which AFL is representing pro bono alongside the Huntington Beach City Attorney’s Office, to overturn the state’s illegal “Sanctuary State Laws,” which violate federal immigration, criminal, and civil rights laws.
/3 California’s Sanctuary State Laws drastically limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities, shield illegal aliens, and threaten public safety.
/1🚨BREAKING — AFL has filed an amicus brief in New Jersey v. Trump to protect our national security, defend our sovereignty, and support President Trump’s Executive Order ending birthright citizenship.
/2 AFL, partnering with Stone Hilton PLLC, filed a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in support of President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
/3 The Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, properly interpreted, does not automatically confer citizenship to every person born on U.S. soil because it requires individuals to be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
/1🚨📄NEW BRIEF — AFL filed an amicus brief on behalf of the State of Alabama and 21 other states defending President Trump’s Executive Orders protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation.
/2 AFL, on behalf of the coalition of 22 states, filed the brief in the U.S. District Court of Maryland in PFLAG, Inc. v. Donald J. Trump.
/3 The coalition’s brief defends two of President Trump’s Executive Orders:
➡️ Executive Order 14187: Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation
➡️ Executive Order 14168: Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism
These orders are critical to safeguarding children from unscientific, harmful procedures.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer claims the UK doesn’t infringe on Americans’ free speech — but that’s not true.
AFL exposed how the UK government and other entities actively censored Americans — and even worked with the Biden Admin to do it.
Details below👇
AFL discovered that the Biden White House hosted the UK government’s “Counter Disinformation Unit” in 2021 to discuss best practices for censoring Americans’ speech.

/1🚨✨🏰 VICTORY: Disney has eliminated multiple DEI programs AFL specifically targeted.
Here’s exactly what Disney changed.🧵👇
/2 Last week, Disney announced it planned to eliminate numerous DEI programs, including:
➡️ Its DEI website called “Reimagine Tomorrow”
➡️ Incorporating DEI into executives’ compensation
➡️ Mandatory warnings before classic Disney cartoons
AFL called out EACH of these initiatives in complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and letters sent to Disney’s Board of Directors.
/3 DISNEY DEI CHANGES — “REIMAGINE TOMORROW”
Disney has shut down its DEI “Reimagine Tomorrow” website, cited by AFL over 30 times in our letters.
Disney’s recently filed Annual Report for 2024 removed all references to “Reimagine Tomorrow” that were included in its 2023 Annual Report and cited in AFL’s 2024 complaint and letter.
Disney also appears to have abandoned other discriminatory “[e]mployee development programs and fellowships for underrepresented talent.”
