They take up cases that they choose based upon it touching on constitutional issues. A recent case involved a football coach giving prayers before a game in Texas. No crime there at all, just a first amendment issue that needed clarification. This case involves a former President. Anything involving someone that high up in the government, will bring up issues they might be interested in.
The DA and his team will have done a lot of thinking on this before it all. He's going to jail.

Ron Kuby, a veteran New York criminal defense lawyer, took a different view.
“Judge Merchan is known for being a harsh sentencer when it comes to white-collar crimes committed by people who have wealth and privilege and power,” Kuby said.
Kuby added that he believes “it is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time,” despite the logistical and practical complications that locking up a person with Secret Service protection would entail.

He's just repeated the line about 'Mental institutions' and 'insane asylums' with respect to illegal immigration. Totally bonkers.
ETA now he's oging on about a guy with a machete in McDonalds. Er, OK.
Trump delivers remarks on his guilty verdict: Key moments and analysis
Donald Trump launched into attacks on the judge in his criminal trial and continued to undermine New York's criminal justice system Friday as he tried to repackage his conviction on 34 felony charges as fuel, not an impediment, to his latest White House bid.

Second time he's mentioned it. He's repeating himself over and over. It's classic Trump ranting.

This is just rallying now. Bloomberg have cut away. I think Sky news should do the same.

I'd have thought Putin was all in favour of "elimination of political rivals".At least Putin is backing him.

it's not a low-level crime, it;s a felony. if it was financial finagling it would have been relatively low level but it was bragg's gambit to prove that it was in the interests of election interference.

Here's a marginally less deranged MAGA take on the trial. The author is Charles Lipson, the Peter B. Ritzma Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the University of Chicago, where he founded the programme on International Politics, Economics, and Security.
