The New York DA's office called Republican requests for its documents and testimony related to the investigation of Donald Trump 'an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution.'
Bragg's office is investigating Trump over ato adult film actor Stormy Daniels, made just before the 2016 election in order to quiet her allegations of an affair between the two. A New York grand jury is investigating whether Trump falsified his records of the hush money payment in order to cover up a violation of campaign finance laws.Over the weekend, the former president took to social media to claim he would be arrested on Tuesday, and urged his supporters to protest.
In their letter, the three committee chairs called a possible indictment"an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority" and said it was based on"a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue."They argued that if Bragg does indict Trump, Bragg's actions"will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election.
In her response Thursday, Dubeck noted that the congressional request"only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry."NPR's Ilya Marritz contributed to this report.
