New York District Attorney’s office responds to House GOP’s demand for information on Donald Trump case.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Monday pushed back against House Republicans’ demands on the investigation and possible indictment of former president Donald Trump, saying it will not let “baseless accusations” deter them from applying the law.
“We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process,” a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in response to the letter sent by Republican chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight, and Administration committees. “Many false claims have been lobbed out, so let’s set the record straight.”
“New York remains one of the safest big cities in the U.S.,” the statement said.
As all eyes turned to the grand jury that could vote to bring charges against Trump stemming from hush-money payments, House Republicans rallied in support of the former president by sending a letter to Bragg earlier on Monday, asking for testimony and documents from his investigation, which they described a “politically motivated prosecutorial decision.
