House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is preparing to demand testimony from members of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office as an indictment of former President Donald Trump is expected, according to a report.
Politico reported Monday morning Jordan and other senior Republican leaders are planning to demand testimony from the office as the office appears poised to indict Trump as soon as Tuesday.
“If that happens, Republicans want to have a response ready to go. They say they’re going to investigate the Manhattan District Attorney, who would be bringing these charges against Donald Trump,” Politico‘s Rachel Bade said on Politico Playbook’s podcast on Monday.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters, including from Breitbart News, at the House GOP retreat in Orlando on Sunday there could be some sort of action by Jordan even before a potential indictment — as early as Monday.
The action could including calling in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other members of his office and putting them under oath and questioning them about the indictment.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is essentially using the same legal theory to potentially indict former President Donald Trump that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was fined for, argued former United States Attorney Brett Tolman. https://t.co/ww75wdz3wj

Fury at Manhattan’s Bragg over Looming Trump Charges Dominates House GOP Retreat: ‘Stop Going After People Because You Have Political Differences’
Chubby cheeks better scrurry his fat RAT azz up to Soros’ house and find out what his Sugar Daddy wants him to say.
“Jordan and other senior Republican leaders are planning to demand testimony from the office”
And when they refuse then what?....because that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.
“The action could including calling in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other members of his office and putting them under oath and questioning them about the indictment.”
Bragg could say “Sorry, can’t comment on an ongoing investigation/court proceeding.” Or just invoke the Fifth Amendment. Then what? We’re past the time for the courts or even congressional committees to fix what’s wrong.
> And when they refuse then what?....because that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.
Strongly worded letter. That will show them!
Agreed. What is the justification for Congress to be involved in what is a state matter?
Fed money..
Just game planning it out; Alvin Bragg will refuse to show up claiming a legal conflict exists. Jim Jordon refers a contempt complaint to the Merrick Garland who precedes to do absolutely nothing.
and the FReeper brigade will blame it on Jordan ...
Why is the state involved in a federal election matter?
EC
Jordan is saying they think federal money is being used to fuel this circus and that gives them authority to investigate.
I like Jordan but best of luck with that.
Interesting.
Testimony! Hearngs! Reports! Letters! Soundbites! FoxNews hits!
Whhhheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Duh interference in presidential election
Demand in one hand and poop in the other…
Forget the letter demand, SUBPOENA his corrupt azz. Whether anything comes out of the subpoena, show or no show, we must use the same rules as the Demonrats used. Not even bothering to go forward with the process is the same as bending over for them.
WTF is up with the people in this thread?
Remember when the dems used the power of congress to harass Trump specifically and republicans generally (in their case for purely political reasons) and you all hated it?
Now the footware is on the other appendage and everyone’s crying about how empty it all seems.
Yes, garland the pupet won’t do jack. The DA still does not want to be called to testify and endure scrutiny. They probably will avoid, obstruct, and obfuscate. But at least make them squirm a little!!!
Remember, this is about sending a message to all the lefty dweebs who think they are cute and want to show up to applause at their little coctail parties. They still will, but don’t let them off without due harassment.
