Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg says probe of Donald Trump is ongoing despite resignations of its two lead prosecutors

• In his first public statement on Donald Trump, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg called his probe into the former president "ongoing."
• Bragg said his office is "exploring evidence not previously explored."

In his first public statement on Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his office's probe into the former president remains "ongoing" despite the recent resignations of its two lead prosecutors.

His team is going through documents, interviewing witnesses, and "exploring evidence not previously explored," Bragg said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement comes a day after Insider reported that two sources believed it unlikely there will be new indictments stemming from the three-year probe, which is looking at alleged financial crimes relating to the Trump Organization.

A third source could speak only to the unlikelihood of new charges in the lone indictment that the probe has produced, charging Trump's company and his CFO with a tax-dodge scheme in which company executives received some pay off the books.

The probe's two lead prosecutors, Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, had resigned in protest in February after Bragg decided not to pursue charges out of a doubt that there was legally sufficient proof Trump intentionally lied about the company's finances, The New York Times reported.

Pomerantz alleged in his resignation letter that Trump is provably guilty of "numerous" felonies, as the Times also first reported.

Bragg's statement reiterates what his office has repeatedly said through its press office since the resignations, that the probe is ongoing.

It adds praise for the new leadership, Susan Hoffinger, Chief of the Investigation Division, touting her decades of experience. And it explains that the office is not at liberty to reveal details of the probe, particularly grand jury details, as "the law requires secrecy during an investigation."

"The team working on this investigation is comprised of dedicated, experienced career prosecutors," Bragg's statement says.

"They are going through documents, interviewing witnesses, and exploring evidence not previously explored," it adds.

"In the long and proud tradition of white-collar prosecutions at the Manhattan D.A.'s Office, we are investigating thoroughly and following the facts without fear or favor."

Bragg told The Washington Post in a phone interview Thursday that he never shut the probe down.

"My determination was that the investigation needed to be ongoing, and that continues to be my determination," he told the paper.
