USA LIVE: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Faces Congressional Hearing on Donald Trump Prosecution | USA News | CNBC TV18
Hearing to examine how the New York County District Attorney’s Office weaponized the criminal justice system in pursuit of its perceived political enemy, President Trump. House Judiciary GOP calls on appellate courts to 'reverse the verdict' in NY v. Trump in new staff report
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and one of the trial team prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial have agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on July 12, the day after Trump's sentencing, according to Bragg's office.
Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., requested testimony from Bragg and Matthew Colangelo – a member of Bragg's team who has drawn special ire from Trump – in May 31 letters that he posted on X (formerly Twitter). Jordan said the hearing will focus on the "weaponization" of the federal government, echoing an accusation Trump has leveled without evidence that the Biden administration - not Bragg as a New York state prosecutor - was behind the case.
The hearing could get testy, coming one day after Trump will learn his criminal sentence. Jordan and Bragg will finally come face-to-face on a televised national stage after more than a year of tension over Bragg's prosecution against Trump.
