Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had requested to block a subpoena by Jordan for the House Judiciary Committee's investigation of Bragg's office.
The district judge also acknowledged the politicization of the investigation into Bragg's office, writing that occasional elected state and federal officials"engage in political dogfights."
"Bragg complains of political interference in the local [District Attorney for New York County] case, but Bragg does not operate outside of the political arena," Vyskocil wrote."Bragg is presumptively acting in good faith. That said, he is an elected prosecutor in New York County with constituents, some of whom wish to see Bragg wield the force of law against the former President and a current candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
"Jordan, in turn, has initiated a political response to what he and some of his constituents view as a manifest abuse of power and nakedly political prosecution, funded with federal money, that has the potential to interfere with the exercise of presidential duties and with an upcoming federal election," Vyskocil continued in her conclusion.
"The Court does not endorse either side's agenda. The sole question before the Court at this time is whether Bragg has a legal basis to quash a congressional subpoena that was issued with a valid legislative purpose. He does not."
