January 16, 2022
He hasn’t even officially entered the governor’s race but Republican millionaire Harry Wilson’s past donation to embattled Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has come back to haunt him.
Wilson confirmed to The Post on Sunday that he gave $1,000 to Bragg on June 21, 2020 — about a year before the Democratic primary election for Manhattan’s top prosecutor — saying they were pals from their time together at Harvard University.
“I thought he would be a strong prosecutor as Manhattan DA based on his years as a prosecutor,” Wilson said,referring to Bragg’s career working as a Manhattan federal prosecutorand as the chief deputy Attorney General for the state.
State Board of Elections records show that contributors with the name “Harry Wilson” provided three donations of $1,000 each to Democrat Bragg’s campaign. One donation came from the potential GOP gubernatorial candidate’s Scarsdale address, while two others were listed at different Manhattan addresses.
Wilson, chairman and CEO of investment management firm MAEVA Group, said the two Manhattan donations were from someone else with the same name."
