From a story on politico.com by Kelly Garrity headlined “”We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct’: Bragg addresses media after Trump arraignment”:

Former President Donald Trump repeatedly made false statements on business records in New York in an effort to cover up other crimes, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said at a press conference held shortly after Trump’s arraignment Tuesday afternoon. The former president pleaded not guilty to the 34 felony charges.

“These are felony crimes in New York state, no matter who you are. We cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct,” Bragg told reporters.
