EXCLUSIVE: House Judiciary Expands Investigation Into Manhattan DA Over Trump Indictment
In light of last week’s unprecedented’s indictment of former President Trump, Donald, the House of Justice Committee is looking into the Manhattan District Attorney Bragg, Alvin more thoroughly.
House of Justice Chairman Jordan, Jim, R-Ohione, sent a notice to Manhattan DA Senior Counsel Matthew Colangelo on Friday asking for an transcribed audience. The letter was shared with The Federalist. Colangelo was hired four months ago to” jump start” Bragg’s Trump’s investigations, according to the New York Times in December, after spending years pursuing the former president at the Department of Justice and the office of the state attorney general.
Jordan wrote,” We ask for your assistance with our lapse in your particular strength given your evolution working for law-enforcement organizations that are pursuing President Trump and the public coverage surrounding your decision to work for the New York County District Attorney’s Office’s.”
Trump entered a not-guilty plea on Tuesday in the historical trial of the 34-count criminal indictment, which could result in an additional 136-year prison term. The allegations are related to 2016 hush-money payments made to porno actress Stormy Daniels in a case that was originally dropped by the prosecution. Twelve democratic law professors and Trump opponents have declared the trial to be over due to the case’s weakness’s.
After Bragg has spent weeks defying lawmakers’ monitoring requests, the chairman of the House of Justice reminded Colangelo of Congress’s right’s to look into the Manhattan DA office. According to Fox News, the Committee is considering issuing official summons for Bragg’s position as a result of the back-and-forth. The summons for Mark Pomerantz, a former Bragg prosecutor who resigned earlier years due to sluggish success in his attempts to hold Trump, was executed by politicians on Thursday.
Jordan admitted to lawmakers on Fox News Monday that his work had used federal money to look into Trump’s case’s against the Manhattan DA.
In his letter to Colangelo, Jordan stated that” The Committee may therefore consider legislation to enhance reporting requirements regarding the use of federal forfeiture funds and / or to prohibit the usage of such funds to investigate a current or former President or presidential candidate.”
The commission is requesting that Colangelo turn over paperwork pertaining to his employment and prepare for a technical interview. Colangelo was given until April 21 to give politicians a routine of his presence.
Users of Bragg’s faculty deleted their online information as the Manhattan DA office braces for harsh oversight from House Republicans. Additionally, the” Meet Our Team” page was removed from Bragg’s website’s.
House Republicans and the former president rivals’s in the 2024 chief immediately condemned Trump after his indictment last year, but Senate GOP Minority Leader McConnell, Mitch has remained silent.
