NEW YORK — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg threw down the legal gauntlet against House Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on his office over its criminal indictment of ex-president Donald Trump.
Bragg made the charge in a Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit against Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan and the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee, which launched its inquiry into Bragg’s Trump investigation on March 20.
Jordan and his fellow Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have demanded Bragg grant them access to confidential court records and sought Bragg’s testimony about the Trump probe.
