Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has asked a federal court to enjoin House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan from interfering in his office’s prosecution of former president Donald Trump by attempting to compel current and former prosecutors to divulge information about the probe as part of the Republican-led panel’s effort to protect Mr Trump.
In a complaint filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Mr Bragg’s attorneys said the lawsuit was a response to “an unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress” against the Manhattan prosecutor’s probe into Mr Trump.
