House Judiciary Chair demands Alvin Bragg testify on Trump guilty verdict
- Former RNC chair urges Alvin Bragg to stay away from Congress after Trump's guilty verdict.
- House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan insists on Bragg testifying to Republicans in Congress.
- Ongoing tensions between party members following Trump's criminal hush money trial.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to testify before a House Judiciary Committee panel regarding Donald Trump's hush money trial. Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying documents in 2016 to cover up a payment to Stormy Daniels. Despite his convictions, Trump maintains his innocence and plans to appeal. He argues for "presidential immunity," even though the crimes occurred before his presidency. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan demanded Bragg's testimony, calling the trial a "political prosecution." Bragg's office expressed willingness to cooperate, but scheduling conflicts may delay his appearance. Trump's sentencing is set for July 11, just before the Republican National Convention. The prosecutors raised concerns about participating in a public hearing during an ongoing trial. Jordan has criticized the trial and threatened to withhold funding for investigations into Trump. In a case led by Bragg, a New York jury recently found Trump guilty in his hush money trial.
