Manhattan DA Sues Jim Jordan Over House GOP Trump Case Probe (2)

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued to block US Representative Jim Jordan’s investigation of the criminal case against former President Donald Trump, calling it a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on a local prosecution.

Bragg filed suit Tuesday in Manhattan federal court against Jordan, an Ohio Republican, and the House Judiciary Committee, seeking an order blocking their investigation and a subpoena directed to Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor in the DA’s office. According to Bragg, Jordan and the committee he chairs lack authority under the US Constitution to oversee state criminal matters.
