seeking more information related to the hush money probe that could lead to an indictment of former President Donald Trump.to Bragg on Saturday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil argued that Congress should be privy to documents and testimony in the ongoing investigation into a $130,000 payment made during Trump's 2016 campaign to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“We evaluate cases in our jurisdiction based on the facts, the law, and the evidence. It is not appropriate for Congress to interfere with pending local investigations,” Bragg wrote. “The unprecedented inquiry by federal elected officials into an ongoing matter serves only to hinder, disrupt and undermine the legitimate work of our dedicated prosecutors.”
Their request came after Trump falsely predicted last weekend in a post to his social media platform Truth Social that he would be arrested Tuesday. A decision is still pending in the Manhattan grand jury probe.
What’s wrong with these House Republicans who can’t understand the meaning of Separation Of Power and the meaning of interfering in an ongoing investigation? They’re calling themselves lawmakers?
He doesn't have any real information. He was told to indict and he's just trying to find anything....anything at all. He's a tool and should not be the one upholding the law.
Best buddies with Rev Al who accused innocent men of a crime that never occurred
Time for a subpoena, has he played the race card yet
So this isn't real?
if they call him before them and he fails to show up that is contempt of congress a felony
Fat Alvin done blew it. Too many donuts!
Good for hi, In fact, he needs to charge them for interfering in an investigation with intent to obstruct.
He has no case. Period.
Bragg is a modern-day, one-man lynch mob
Lol, love it. He is not intimidated by these spineless GOP members playing their stupid games!!
Because he knows he’s falsifying evidence. If he had a string case he’d be transparent. Just like the fake Jan 6th committee
It’s duck and cover time!!!
The House has every right to this information. No oversight for 2 years got people comfortable not questioning anything. Not any more!
He lets criminals own the streets YET wants to go after Trump just like commie countries do
Don’t succumb. Do what needs to be done indict JusticeMatters
They must be getting such a beat down from their leader. Lol. Hilarious.
With Trump gas ⛽ $1.99 eggs $1.99 - zero inflation - you money was safe in any bank - and you could retire someday.
Dagering him omg back stabbing mf wow gth outa hear 👏 thank Judge 👩⚖️
Time for subpoena
Its in Hillary's basement server !
tell them to mind their business and pass the debt ceiling and immigration reform
Always funny when congressional members think they can overstep their roles 🤡
Maybe you should show him what happens to people who dismiss letters from Congress... Maybe a subpoena should be next and then maybe some jail time for contempt.
Typical disgruntled democrat
Bragg such a con political hack..
He doesn’t have the nuts to indict Trump
He hasn’t resigned yet?
Way go Go Alvin!
Do you believe Trump mocked a reporter for his disability? Do you believe Trump suggested to drink bleach? Do you believe Trump suggested White Supremacists were “very fine people? Then YOU my friend, are in a CULT NONE of those things, ever happened
What a scam this DA is running
This is so last week…
States rights; separation of powers: legislative/judicial/executive. Ever pass American Civics 101?
Bragg only respects the rule of law when he is making up the law.
Sounds like the Grand Jury isn't buying what Bragg was selling.
Alvin, that explains everything!
No one has to even dignify Gym Jordan’s nonsense with a response but “go f— yourself” works.
The whole Biden Whitehouse and this democrat party is filled with lies collusion and evil corruption my opinion 💯
He can’t hide for long
They think they are above the law. They are a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Call him to testify before Congress, and, if he refuses, hold him in contempt. That's the bar set by the previous Congress. Why have two sets of standards?
Another POS Soros political lackey and a ridiculous witch hunt. He's bought radical left DAs in NY, LA, Chicago. Any coincidence that these cities are all crime riddled shooting galleries? Unfortunately it's only 95% of the time when it's criminals killing criminals.
AlvinBragg is the key reason for growing crime in New York. 🦨
I have my popcorn ready.
Stay safe.
Bragg is a political biased conspiring Putin like criminal. He is committing treason on his own. DNC JoeBiden are 100% conspiring in this illegal corrupt abuse of the Justice System. FoxNews CNNPolitics MSNBC
He thinks if they indicted him trump this country will explode? I say let it rip. So, yes, they have guns and lots of them But Iam counting on something supernatural to fight as well. cannot will not beat that force.
Corrupt communist
If he had such a solid case, he would have done something this past week. He has nothing and he knows it. Republicans have completely backed this fool down. A case built on the 'testimony' of Cohen and Stormy?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DA Braggs, DO NOT BACKDOWN. What they are doing is trying to intimidate you because you are Black. Stand your ground. If is a civil war so be it. I am so tired of trump and the majority of Republicans holding the country hostage for their personal gain and not to be accountable.
As soon as they subpoena banking records and reveal over $1 million paid to the Biden’s from China (just the start of investigation directly into Joe Biden’s influence peddling and corrupt business dealings with foreign countries), Democrats roll out, ARREST DONALD TRUMP?
This is pretty entertaining.
He only follows laws that work for him.
Something something “weaponizarion of the federal government” something something
What a shame what the law and order party has become.
Soros scum. he is an enemy of America.
Don't give into the radical Southern Political Segregation-led Republicans, D. A. Bragg. Do your job as you see fit.
Good
He has no obligation to provide this information.
Non of their damn business,
rhonda_harbison 💪🏼
He needs to notify some good state lawyers as if he’s harassed in any way during investigations he can sue these people for millions
Bragg is going to find out the hard way, and I’m here for it
♦️The Trump arrest was all based on lies and they all knew it.
Bragg is the predator & Trump is his prey. Soon there will be findings whether current or past on Bragg and he will become the prey. Bragg is not the innocent person he trying to portray.
Let me paraphrase in language that Alvin can't use: 'Fuck right the fuck off, and when you get there, fuck off again.'
I’m beginning to think this is a vendetta when you compare this to other horrific crimes that the judge drops, yet this is his focus.
He can sacrifice his career and bring charges. Soros has him well funded. Soros1k plan.
This is a federal matter. He cannot just blow it off.
Sorry Alvin Congress has the authority under Equal Protection clause of 14th Amendment.
Issue subpoena. If he fails, you can then prosecute him.
You know what Confucius had to say about those out for revenge especially Soros funded political revenge? '“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” One grave for yourself!
Why are the Trump Republicans trying still to intimidate those who are doing their official job? Trump thinks harassing a DA will add momentum to his push to get away with a crime(s). He doesn't factor in insult to his now teenage son and highly embarrassed wife. What a chump!
Subpoena him to testify.
MAGA: 2016 - Lock her up! 2020 - Lock Biden up! 2023 - Democrats are playing politics and shouldn’t be locking political opponents up. You should care more about America!
Republicans openly pro crime platform is going to bite them in the *ss
The party of law and order is nothing more than a cult of personality at this point.
How is this not a crime? Interfering with an active investigation is a crime. All republicans belong in prison.
They have no jurisdiction in this case
Their request came after Trump FALSELY predicted last weekend in a post to his social media platform Truth Social that he would be arrested Tuesday
Jail Trump.
