In the aftermath of former President Donald Trump's conviction for falsifying business records in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial, liberal pundit Lawrence O'Donnell has dubbed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as the "anointed one." O'Donnell, while hosting MSNBC's show, shared a blast from the past, presenting a 1995 Harvard Crimson article praising Bragg.

During the show, O'Donnell highlighted the profile piece written during Bragg's college days, where he was hailed as the "anointed one" in his last week of college. O'Donnell passionately commended Bragg's dedication and humility, pointing out that this resonated with the people of Manhattan who elected him.

Trump, however, is not taking the conviction lying down and has vowed to appeal the decision. His campaign has also made a significant financial gain, amassing a staggering $53 million in donations within 24 hours after the verdict was announced.

The conviction comes as a significant legal blow to Trump, who has been facing multiple legal battles since leaving office. Bragg's prosecution and subsequent conviction of the former president for falsifying business records are perceived by some as a significant victory for justice.

While Trump's supporters remain steadfast, the "anointed one" moniker bestowed upon Bragg by O'Donnell amplifies the confidence in the Manhattan District Attorney's abilities and underscores the faith placed in him by the community.

As the legal battle between Trump and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office continues, the conviction has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. The outcome of the appeal and the ramifications on Trump's future remain uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Stormy Daniels hush money trial has left an indelible mark on both Trump and the legal career of Alvin Bragg.
