Alvin Bragg wins a round against Jordan

A federal appeals court judge on Thursday halted House Republicans, at least for now, from questioning a former prosecutor in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, in the latest round of a battle between Bragg and the GOP over the criminal investigation of Donald Trump. 

Bragg has filed suit against House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, alleging a "brazen and unconstitutional attack" on his prosecutorial powers of Trump. As previously reported by Salon, Bragg's lawyers have moved to stave off the enforcement of subpoenas by Jordan, including one sent to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz — who at one time helped lead the Manhattan investigation into Trump — shortly after prosecutors revealed the 34 felony counts brought against the ex-president.
