Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Sunday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg doesn’t have a choice on whether to testify before Congress about possible criminal charges being levied against former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Bragg’s investigation into Trump’s alleged hush money payments during the 2016 presidential election are a federal matter and should be brought to the U.S. Department of Justice.
"This is not a local investigation, this is a federal investigation," Comer said. "He's investigating a presidential candidate, not to mention former president of the United States, for a federal election crime. That has no business being litigated in a local district attorney's office."
"And when he says he's not going to cooperate with Congress, unfortunately for Mr. Bragg, he doesn't have the luxury of determining whether or not he can comply with congressional requests, because he crossed over two levels of government, from the local level to the federal level, to try to prosecute something that clearly if there was a reason for prosecution, it should be done by the Department of Justice," he said.

They will be called racist by the media. It is how the media rolls. Deal with it.
Won t do any good.
Bragg will just plead the Fifth.
+1
If he doesn’t come in willingly, Jim Jordan will subpeona him.
I imagine the same outcome with any democrat subpoenaed by this House. Now a Republican declining to testify before a Senate committee, that’s an entirely different matter
Unfortunately, the GOP has never grasped that concept.
“We’re above that, even if it means losing.”
Which it always does.
Who? Me? I wasn’t even there. Those other folk did it....
Or in other words, “How high can you stack a pile of Bragg?”
If its important you START with a subpoena. Period. No invitations, no letter necessary for the House.
Of course you have to have a spine.
Someone gonna hold a demonrats feet to the fire? I’ll believe it when I see it.
They'll probably whine about it, the GOP's equivalent to pounding sand.
My vote is for the 'strongly worded letter.'
OTOH Do we really want local DAs intervening in federal matters?
Raid the Krispy Kreme
DOJ is an arm of Soros and DNC. Nothing, zero, will happen to Bragg, Hunter, Schiff, Joe or Nancy. Zip.
J6 will always be a meme because the media covers and lies for Dems.
.....well, another black attorney, masquerading as a professional federal prosecutor, told Congress to pound sand on a subpoena, Congress then found him in contempt and then Congress did NOTHING !!
That should give you a hint.
Democrats had absolutely no problem putting swatting people who
Didn’t comply and putting them jail.
The current Congress should t hesitate here.
How about you at least read the 3rd and 4th paragraph and perhaps the light will go on.
Refuse subpoena? Send in the Fed swat team and perp walk his butt!
Jail his fat behind in general pop among the J6 prisoners. Ha!
That would contradict the narrative.
yeah...unfortunately Comer hasn;t paying attention
