Bragg To House GOP: Stop Your “Unlawful Interference”

The Washington Post reports:

The office of New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Friday urged House Republicans to withdraw a demand for information on its case against Trump, again rebuffing what it characterized as “unlawful political interference” in an ongoing criminal case. In a letter to the three committee chairmen who are pressing for documents and testimony about Trump’s case, Leslie B. Dubeck, the general counsel for Bragg’s office, chastised them for choosing to “collaborate” with the former president.

“You and many of your colleagues have chosen to collaborate with Mr. Trump’s efforts to vilify and denigrate the integrity of elected state prosecutors and trial judges and made unfounded allegations that the Office’s investigation … is politically motivated,” Dubeck wrote. “We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference.”
