According to a report from Politico, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and other House leaders are preparing to move against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as reports swirl he is planning on indicting former President Trump.
From Politico:
Republicans are discussing firing off letters summoning employees of the Manhattan DA’s office for sworn testimony, according to a GOP official familiar with the plans. The potential request comes amid speculation about why the hush-money case was suddenly resurrected after being back-burnered by both state and federal prosecutors.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans are not final, noted that Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a longtime Trump ally and close friend, is “fully supportive and pushing folks to be aggressive here.”
“This is a [George] Soros-backed, crazy, left-wing prosecutor … and he is doing this purely political sham,” Jordan told reporters.
