The chairmen's letter 'only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day,' general counsel Leslie Dubeck wrote.
In their letter, the trio of GOP chairmen also sought details about any communications between the DA's office and the Justice Department, as well as information about the use of federal funds in Bragg's office. Jordan is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Comer leads the House Oversight Committee and Steil chairs the Committee on House Administration.
The chairmen's letter"only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene," Dubeck wrote, referring to Trump's claim over the weekend that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday."Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry."
