NEW YORK — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has a message for Republican lawmakers conducting a Congressional probe into his investigation of former President Donald Trump: Back off.
If criminal charges are brought against Trump in Manhattan, it’ll be because “the rule of law and faithful execution” of the DA’s duty to uphold it warrants them, reads a letter Bragg’s office sent Thursday to GOP leaders.
The DA’s general counsel Leslie Dubeck was responding to Monday’s demands from the House GOP Judiciary Committee in a letter accusing the DA of investigating Trump as part of a political conspiracy.
