House Chairmen Rebut Rebuttal

Who’s got the power? Trump’s possible indictment by the Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, has faced major bipartisan pushback, and certain GOP representatives are seeking answers about who is funding this multi-million dollar witch hunt.

Breitbart: Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), and Bryan Steil (R-Wi) replied to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Saturday, stating that their prior requests for testimony and documents from Bragg related to the possible forthcoming indictment of former President Donald Trump still stand after Bragg objected to most of them.

The three powerful committee chairmen contended in a letter obtained by Breitbart News that there existed a “substantial federal interest” in Congress probing Bragg’s investigation of Trump after Bragg disputed most of their initial requests on Thursday.

“Contrary to the central argument set forth in your letter, this matter does not simply involve local or state interests,” they wrote.

The Republicans reasoned that “if state or local prosecutors are able to engage in politically motivated prosecutions of Presidents of the United States (former or current) for personal acts, this could have a profound impact on how Presidents choose to exercise their powers while in office.”

The correspondence represents what has now become a back-and-forth between the three congressmen and Bragg, which could prolong the Republicans resorting to subpoenaing Bragg because of his willingness to communicate with them.

A source familiar confirmed to Breitbart News a New York Post story stating that congressional staff had called Bragg’s office ahead of Thursday because they had not yet received Bragg’s reply and that they had been prepared to issue a subpoena if Bragg had not ended up responding. End Breitbart.

This is a developing story.
