The Justice Department had no comment about the Trump indictment. But the decision of Alvin L. Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, to bring a case has been met with some skepticism, and not a little trepidation in federal law enforcement circles. Senior officials believe the New York case is the weakest of the pending criminal investigations into the former president. They are concerned that the public might conflate the Bragg probe with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s dual-track investigation into Mr. Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election and his role in instigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
