Congressional Republicans aren’t giving up on Donald Trump without a fight.
House Republicans are exhausting all their options and making a last-ditch effort to dismantle Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s probe into hush money allegedly paid by former president Donald Trump to a porn star who he shared an affair with.
The pair had been leading the criminal investigation into Trump under former District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. When Vance left and Bragg took office in February of last year, Bragg asked them to stay—but both resigned in protest because Bragg had “indicated to them that he had doubts about moving forward with a case against Mr. Trump,”The investigation was ultimately suspended.
“Your criticisms of Bragg’s investigation were widely reported,” Jordan wrote, and “it now appears that your efforts to shame Bragg have worked as he is reportedly resurrecting a so-called ‘zombie’ case.” The letter requests the pair testify during a “transcribed interview about these matters as soon as possible,” along with submitting other documents and communications. It is unclear whether the former prosecutors will agree to testify—though it would appear unlikely.“The only thing that changes...is that President Trump announces he’s running for President,” Jordan said.
