"The Republicans' letter to the Manhattan District Attorney represents an astonishing and unprecedented abuse of power as they attempt to use Congressional resources to interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation at another level of government and obstruct a possible criminal indictment," said Oversight Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md.
Republicans on Monday sent a letter to Bragg demanding that he appear before Congress after multiple news outlets reported the Manhattan DA's office was consulting with law enforcement about indicting Trump this week. then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen made to Stormy Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
GOP lawmakers and Trump himself have questioned the legal theory under which Bragg would bring charges now, accusing the New York prosecutor of harboring political motivations.
