Bragg's office faces bar complaint alleging discrimination in 'diversity' hiring practices
Fox News
New York County Attorney General Alvin Bragg faces a bar complaint by America First Legal after the group took issue with his "unconstitutional" hiring practices.
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"We have kind of marshaled evidence that his office, when it comes to hiring attorney talent, is very clear about engaging in kind of diversity requirements — whether you call that ‘racial balancing,' whether you call that ‘quotas.' There's clear evidence that there are further steps to do that," Epstein said Wednesday in an interview. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Not only do such hiring practices risk running afoul of federal law, Epstein said of his group’s complaint, but they also are inconsistent with New York Bar Association standards of professional conduct. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
