Jim Jordan is meddling in places where he should not be?

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has tentatively agreed to testify before Congress after his office secured a historic guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter asking for Bragg’s testimony May 31, the day after a New York jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The former president is facing the possibility of time behind bars.

Jordan had suggested a date of June 13, which Bragg rejected. He suggested a date after Trump’s sentencing hearing next month would be more appropriate, according to a letter signed Friday by Leslie Dubreck, general counsel for his office.
It would be “potentially detrimental” to the “fair administration of justice” for members of Bragg’s office to participate in a hearing where they may face questions on the Trump case before the former president’s sentencing date, which is now set for July 11, Dubreck’s letter read.

Jordan wants Bragg to appear before his Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which was set up last year to respond to right-wing grievances.
Bragg’s office requested more information on the “scope and purpose” of the proposed hearing. Jordan also invited prosecuting attorney Michael Colangelo to testify; Dubeck’s letter indicated that could be a possibility.
