House Committees Hit the Ground Running, Send Letter to Manhattan D.A. Requesting Testimony

Chairmen of three House Committees moved forward in investigating if the Manhattan D.A. used federal funds to investigate former President Trump.

Jim Jordan (R-OH) Chair of the Judiciary Committee, James Comer (R-KY) Chairman of the Oversight Committee, and Bryan Steil (R-WI) Chairman of the Administration committee have sent a letter to Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg.

Jordan shared the four-page letter sent to Bragg on Twitter:

“Was the Manhattan DA’s office in communication with DOJ about their investigation of President Trump? Was the Manhattan DA’s office using federal funds to investigate President Trump? Alvin Bragg owes our committee answers.”

The three chairmen are requesting Bragg give testimony in relation to the possibility of federal funds being used to investigate Trump. They have also requested communication between the D.A.’s office and the Justice Department as well as any related documents.

“BREAKING: Jim Jordan, James Comer, and Bryan Steil of the House Judiciary Committee are demanding communications, documentations, and testimony from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg related to his reported upcoming indictment of President Trump.”

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy shared over the weekend that he was directing House committees to investigate. It appears they have taken his request and hit the ground running.

We will see what comes of what many view as a political partisan circus that makes the United States look like a third-world country.
