A good government group is seeking Justice Department records about a Biden-era official’s role in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s lawfare against then-candidate Donald Trump.
In its Wednesday lawsuit, the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) requested the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel the DOJ to hand over documents related to Matthew Colangelo‘s transition from the department to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in December 2022. As The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland previously reported, Colangelo — who was the third highest-ranking official at the Biden DOJ — left the agency to help “jump start” Bragg’s prosecution of Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“In late 2022, former DNC operative, Obama donor, and top official in the Biden DOJ Matthew Colangelo was hand-picked to join the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to politically prosecute President Trump,” CASA Director James Fitzpatrick told The Federalist. “The American people deserve to know if there were any politically charged discussions at the Biden DOJ involving Colangelo’s hiring.”
In May 2024, CASA filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Biden DOJ seeking agency communications and records from Jan. 20, 2021-Dec. 10, 2022, related to Colangelo’s resignation.

We already know the answer and so do they. They are just using a ‘watchdog’ organization to ask the question via FOIA to demonstrate what is already known. NY higher court would be wise to reverse the ‘Trump Convictions’ before the truth becomes public and they look really really really stupid, unconstitutional, and political. Then again, they are going to elect a ‘Fascist-Socialist’ to be head of NYC... maybe they just don’t care.
“before the truth becomes public and they look really really really stupid”
These wretched people lack the capacity for shame. They are immune.
