The New York District Attorney's office investigating former President Donald Trump called Republican requests for its documents and testimony 'an unprecedent inquiry into a pending local prosecution.'
Bragg's office is investigating Trump over ato adult film actor Stormy Daniels, made just before the 2016 election in order to quiet her allegations of an affair between the two. Trump has denied the affair.
A New York grand jury is investigating whether Trump falsified his records of the hush money payment in order to cover up a violation of campaign finance laws. Over the weekend, the former president took to social media to claim he would be arrested on Tuesday, and urged his supporters to protest. The party has rallied around Trump in the days since, decrying the inquiry as political retaliation. But there has been no official announcement of a criminal indictment.
They argued that if Bragg does indict Trump, Bragg's actions"will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election." In her response Thursday, Dubeck noted that the congressional request"only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry."Jordan was asked Thursday if he would consider compelling Bragg to appear with a subpoena. He told reporters"we're looking at all options."Copyright 2023 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.
