BREAKING: District Attorney Alvin Bragg Sues Jim Jordan After Lawmaker Demands Answers in Trump Indictment

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) has decided to sue Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) who is currently seeking out answers related to the indictment of Donald Trump by the DA and planning on holding a hearing about Bragg’s handling of the law next week.

According to The New York Times, Bragg filed the 50-page lawsuit in the Southern District of New York by calling Jordan’s recent calls for investigation a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” in order to intimidate Bragg.

Bragg is seeking to block the subpoena of Mark F. Pomerantz, a former lawyer who worked in the DA’s office and wrote a book about the investigation into Trump. By suing Jordan, Pomerantz, who is listed as a defendant in the suit, would be blocked from testifying to the House Judiciary Committee.

Last month, Trump’s lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, called for an investigation into Pomerantz and the DA’s office in general, writing, “Rather than let the American voters choose their next President, the [New York District Attorney’s Office (NYDA)] has decided that it knows better and has attempted to short-circuit the electoral process and take matters into its own hands,” Trump’s attorney wrote. “In short, over the past five years, the NYDA has targeted for criminal prosecution President Trump due to the prosecutors’ political animosity towards him.”

The letter, dated March 10th, called upon Commissioner Strauber to investigate former District Attorney Cyrus Vance, former NYDA General Counsel Carey Dunne, former Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz, current District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the NYDA in its totality.

While Tacopina urged the commissioner to take action, it seems like Rep. Jordan took notice and launched his own investigation.

During an interview with Fox News‘s Maria Bartiromo earlier this month, the Ohio Republican warned that if Mr. Bragg did not appear before Congress that “everything’s on the table” to force him to do so.

Earlier this week, Jordan stuck to his word and announced that he will be holding a committee hearing on Bragg’s inability to enforce the law by inviting victims of Bragg’s lack of enforcement to testify.

While it is unclear whether or not Jordan wanted to invite Bragg to the hearing, it is apparent that the district attorney had no interest in cooperating with Congress regarding the investigation into 45th President Donald Trump.

Trump, who was arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, has repeatedly attacked Bragg for the politicized persecutions of the case against him with many legal experts agreeing that the case is weak at best.

It appears like DA Bragg is unwilling to cooperate with congressional oversight and his willingness to take drastic steps like suing Jordan further showcases his willingness to utilize the law to fulfill his own politicized motivations.
