‘Unprecedented Abuse Of Authority’: House
\nGOP Demands Answers From Manhattan DA Over Trump Indictment, DeSantis Slams<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

House Republicans on the Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee are using their new investigative powers\u00a0to look into liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg<\/strong>, over the Soros-funded DA’s reported plans to indict former President Donald Trump on felony charges this week related to hush money he allegedly paid to porn star Stormy Daniels seven years ago –\u00a0a charge which would normally be a misdemeanor<\/strong>. Bragg would also be prosecuting the case beyond the five-year statute of limitations.<\/p>\n

“You are reportedly about to engage in an\u00a0unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office,<\/strong>” reads a Monday letter to Bragg from Reps. Jim Jordan (Judiciary Chairman), James Comer (Oversight Chairman) and Bryan Steil (House Admin Chairman).<\/p>\n

“This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis – any basis – on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the cuntry and one that federal authorities declined to pursue.”<\/p>\n

The letter goes on to shred the ‘untested legal theory’ underpinning Bragg’s expected indictment<\/strong>, and calls out former Trump Attorney Michael Cohen, Bragg’s star witness and a convicted perjurer, as having a “serious credibility problem.”<\/p>\n

The letter demands\u00a0all documents and communications related to the decision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
