After all, it was just a few months ago when Republicans attacked the FBI for searching Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

In recent days, hysterical elements within the party have condemned charges they haven’t seen. Note, the Judiciary Committee chairman didn’t just request the prosecutors’ testimony, he also asked that Pomerantz and Dunne “hand over documents and communications.” Jordan on Wednesday sent letters to Mark Pomerantz, former New York County Special Assistant District Attorney, and Carey Dunne, former Manhattan Special Assistant District Attorney, both of whom resigned from Bragg’s Trump investigation in February 2022 because they disagreed with the district attorney’s reluctance to try and indict Trump on the second grand jury that had been empaneled in the case. Yesterday, as The Hill reported, Jordan went even further. “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,” the Maryland Democrat said in a statement.

Is there any evidence that the district attorney has engaged in any wrongdoing? No. Retrieved February 13, 2023.Has Bragg brought charges against the former president?
