How strong is the New York case against Donald Trump?

Days of flurrying speculation gave way on Tuesday to the official reveal of the 34 felony charges against former US President and 2024 Republican hopeful Donald Trump. In an arraignment in Manhattan's criminal court that was watched the world over, in an unsealed indictment and statement of facts, and in a news conference by New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the clearest picture yet of the case against Trump has emerged. But the new details also raised several questions, leaving some legal experts divided on the strength of the case based on what is currently known. Speaking to Al Jazeera, former federal prosecutor Alan Baron said, based on what is known, it appears to be a "very strong case" against Trump. "People who are very familiar with this kind of prosecution in New York are saying that it's very solid," he said. John Malcolm, a former federal prosecutor and legal expert at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank said the former president could prevail.
