House Republicans have launched an investigation into the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s team has responded with a defiant public message. The GOP lawmakers demanded records and testimony from the prosecutor, who is investigating Trump over alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election cycle. The investigation has been condemned by Democrats, who argue that Congress has no jurisdiction to investigate a state district attorney, who receives no federal funding nor has any other federal nexus.
In a letter from House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
“An unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office.”
Rep. Jordan would then go on to add:
“Democrats think it’s ok for them to examine and defund local police. But not ok for Republicans to examine a local prosecutor in Manhattan abusing his power to take down a political opponent.”
In response to the Republican investigation, a spokesperson for Bragg stated that they will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process and that they will follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. The spokesperson also expressed the belief that the allegations against Trump are politically motivated and denied any wrongdoing.
“We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law,”
“In every prosecution, we follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work.”
The investigation centers on a charge of bookkeeping fraud to cover up an alleged affair, which Trump denies happened. The former president claims that Bragg’s inquiry is politically motivated and has called on his supporters to protest. He also stated that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday, although a spokesperson for Trump later said that he had received no notification other than “illegal leaks” to the media.
It remains uncertain what a possible indictment against Trump will look like, but there is widespread expectation that it would be centered on the charge of bookkeeping fraud. The investigation has drawn criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with Democrats arguing that it is politically motivated and Republicans accusing Bragg of abusing his power to take down a political opponent.
LISTEN UP….GOD takes that which is Not Perfect and Strives it towards Perfection. TRUMP shall Surely Become a TRUMPET. GOD Power +TRUMP Power = Parting of the BLUE SEA. From SamuraiQueen aka CHIAKIA. 😄😄😄😇😇😇😉😉😉
This is just another attempt by Democraps to prevent President Trump from running for office again. Democraps know they CAN’T CHEAT Pedo Joe or another Democrap in Office because the people will be watching them closely to prevent that. Democraps also know that Pedo Joe has done things so badly well his MASTERS have that he does not stand a chance of winning even the Nomination to run again. The only hope Democraps have of doing anything is to keep President Trump from running ever again.
Trump 2024! Charge the whole dam dem party with TREASON!
Soros was a NAZI, turned Jews over to the Germans for money. He should be turned over to Israel, charged for murder of Jews.
DA Fat Al is a stooge; incompetent & a poser
Everyday, there is more proof that this country, the USA, has become a 3rd world banana republic.
Everyday, there is more proof that this country, the USA, has become a 3rd world banana republic. Yes indeed.
Everyday, there is more proof that this country, the USofA has become a 3rd world banana republic.
More proof that this country, the USA, has become a 3rd world banana republic.
The soros funded DA is just another part of the banana republic the US ha become.
Bragg is off the walls. Paying hush money is not a crime. Paying it surreptitiously by using creative bookkeeping is a misdemeanor. The case is old. The feds. declined to prosecute it years ago. So, is Bragg being paid by George Soros to pursue this case while he ignores a major crime epidemic in NYC. Perhaps it is Bragg who needs investigating.
Did DA Bragg have any “accident” yet??
Ron De Santis is not equipped to run for President. His state of Florida has numerous problems. He does not fix them., He in no way can help or fix The great USA. Tell Ron to grow up get wiser by watching the Great President Trump
Ahhhh, Mr. Bragg so brave with your own Soros hush money well hidden. The real question is, when the time comes, are you going to be willing to spill a little blood for Soros and the Dem leadership.
ATTENTION YOU ASS KISSING DEMOCRAT REPUBLICANS (RINOS) ITS TIME YOU GET YOUR JUST REWARD . ITS TIME TO VOTE THESE ASS HOLES OUT OF OFFICE.THEY HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE DUMOCRATS. IF YOU DON’T GIVE A DAM ABOUT YOUR PARTY THEN GET THE HELL OUT AND JOIN THE DUMOCRATS .YOU WONT BE MISSED.
The dems just keep beating a dead horse. This is old news & has been resolved. If this is all the da in New York has to do then the voters should defund him. They don’t prosecute anyone for crimes anymore. JOB ELIMINATION!
Oh I see. The County Attorney states that the Congress has no jurisdiction over this case but yet a peon SOROS back prosecutor does authority. I think we got our wires a little cross here that political witchhunt is about the same thing is it was when they dogged President Trump for four years with a bunch of garbage. This is going to end up with Americans fighting Americans in a street that is unless Putin does what he should do and shoot a nuke at us because we deserve it after the way we treated him
