axios.com———Even before the election, House Republicans want to go after NY’s Bragg.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Monday told Fox News Digital he’s preparing an appropriations package that would “defund the lawfare activities” of state and federal prosecutors leading “politically sensitive investigations,” including Bragg, special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County (Ga.) District Attorney Fani Willis.
Jordan called last week for Bragg and one of his courtroom prosecutors, Matthew Colangelo, to testify June 13 before Jordan’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The topic: “the unprecedented political prosecution of President Trump.”
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said this weekend on “Fox News Sunday” that the hearing’s purpose “is to investigate what these prosecutors are doing at the state and federal level to use ... political retribution in the court system to go after political opponents, federal officials like Donald Trump.”
“And we’re going to look at Special Counsel Jack Smith,” Johnson added, referring to the Justice Department official leading two federal probes of Trump. “We have the funding streams. We have mechanisms to try to get control of that.”
