Manhattan DA to Testify in Congress Post-Trump Sentencing

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to testify before a Republican-controlled congressional subcommittee, likely after former President Donald Trump is sentenced in July. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, accused Bragg of conducting a "political prosecution" and requested his testimony. Bragg's office expressed willingness to cooperate but cited scheduling conflicts and the ongoing Trump prosecution as reasons for a delay. The letter emphasized the need to protect the fair administration of justice in the case. Jordan has also requested testimony from lead prosecutor Matthew Colangelo. The committee has previously battled to obtain a deposition from another former prosecutor involved in Trump's case, Mark Pomerantz, with limited success.
