House Republicans want to question Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg about his potential indictment of former President Trump — but Senate Republicans aren't so hot on the idea.
The move by House Republicans — perhaps their boldest effort yet to protect Trump — is drawing mixed reactions from their colleagues in the Senate, many of whom see serious risks in second-guessing how local prosecutors pursue cases.
“I think you’ve got to fall short of getting involved in the legal process,” said Sen. Tom Tillis , before adding, "I think there is a legitimate question to ask about why are we here."Other senators voiced"I’m glad the House is investigating the politicization of law enforcement, because Democrats have engaged in this practice for a long time," said Sen. Ted Cruz .Sen.
The House GOP could try to use a civil suit to compel Bragg's testimony, but that's a notoriously slow process.In their letter to Bragg on Monday, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan , Oversight Chair James Comer and House Administration Chair Bryan Steil were careful to couch their request with language about Congress’ legitimate legislative functions.
