Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit a Manhattan bodega after a court appearance on Tuesday. The bodega, formerly known as the Sanaa Convenience Store, was the site of a controversial incident in July 2022.
During that time, Jose Alba, an employee at the store, was charged with second-degree murder after stabbing a man who had entered the store and pushed him. Alba and his legal team argued that he acted in self-defense, leading to the eventual dismissal of the charges. The incident had sparked criticism against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is currently overseeing a hush money case involving Trump.
Trump's upcoming visit to the bodega is expected to focus on issues of crime and inflation, as reported by the media pool covering the event. It remains uncertain whether Jose Alba will be present during Trump's visit.
