The House Judiciary Committee chairman on Friday asked two New York state prosecutors to testify at a subcommittee hearing next month about the case where a jury found former president Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony charges of falsifying business records.
In a pair of letters, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government would hold a hearing about the case on June 13. He invited Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Matthew Colangelo, an attorney on Bragg’s team who gave the opening statements at the Trump trial, to testify.
Both letters say the hearing will look at the “actions by state and local prosecutors to engage politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials, in particular the recent political prosecution of President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.”
