House Republicans, irate over the indictment of former President Trump, are threatening to strike back at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg by revoking the federal funds doled out to his office.
Mr. Bragg’s office said last week that $5,000 in federal funds was spent investigating the Trump Organization and Mr. Trump between October 2019 and August 2021. Most of that money was spent on Supreme Court litigation, according to a letter penned by Mr. Bragg’s general counsel, Leslie Dubeck.
Republicans say all that money should be on the chopping block in the wake of the indictment of Mr. Trump on charges stemming from hush money payments in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, also raised the prospect of cutting off funding for Mr. Bragg’s office.
