Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said House GOP lawmakers have no"legitimate basis" for inquiring into his investigation into former President Donald Trump, as they are basing their claims on the former president's"false expectation" that he was going to be arrested on Tuesday.
The district attorney said he would not be"intimidated" by Republican lawmakers seeking to"undermine the judicial process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law." "We trust that you appreciate the importance of our federal system, state law enforcement activities, and the critical need to maintain the integrity and independence of state criminal law enforcement from federal interference," Bragg wrote."While the DA's Office will not allow a Congressional investigation to impede the exercise of New York's sovereign police power, this Office will always treat a fellow government entity with due respect.
Bragg's letter comes after the announcement that the grand jury will not be meeting on Thursday as expected to vote on an indictment of Trump. Instead, it will hear a different case.
