Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) once again pressed back versus House Republicans’ efforts to examine his prosecution of President Trump, with his workplace sending out a scathing letter Friday early morning boasting about his indictment of Trump and implicating them of “collaborat( ing) with Mr. Trump’s efforts to damn and denigrate the stability of chosen state district attorneys and trial judges and made unproven accusations that the Office’s examination, carried out through an independent grand jury of typical residents serving New York State, is politically inspired.”
The letter is the most recent in a backward and forward in between House Committee Chairmen Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Justice; Rep. Brian Steil (R-WI), Administration and Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Oversight.
Dear Chairman Jordan, Chairman Steil, and Chairman Comer:
Yesterday, the District Attorney of New York County submitted charges versus Donald Trump for offenses of New York law.1 The charges submitted the other day were brought by residents of New York, doing their civic responsibility as members of a grand jury, who discovered likely cause to implicate Mr. Trump of having actually dedicated criminal activities in New York.Like any other offender, Mr. Trump is entitled to challenge these charges in court and obtain himself of all procedures and defenses that New York State’s robust criminal treatment manages. What neither Mr. Trump nor Congress might do is disrupt the regular course of procedures in New York State. Your very first letter made an unmatched demand to the District Attorney for secret information about the status of the state grand jury examination– now indictment– of Mr. Trump. Your 2nd letter asserts that, by stopping working to offer it, the District Attorney in some way stopped working to contest your unwarranted and inflammatory accusations that our examination is politically inspired. That conclusion is deceptive and meritless. We did not take part in a point-by-point defense of your letter since our Office is lawfully constrained in how it openly goes over pending criminal procedures, as prosecutorial workplaces are throughout the nation and as you popular. That secrecy is crucial to securing the personal privacy of the target of any criminal examination along with the stability of the independent grand jury’s procedures.2

Finally, as you are no doubt mindful, previous President Trump has actually directed severe invective versus District Attorney Bragg and threatened on social networks that his arrest or indictment in New York might release “death & & damage.” As Committee Chairmen, you might utilize the stature of your workplace to knock these attacks and prompt regard for the fairness of our justice system and for the work of the objective grand jury. Rather, you and a number of your coworkers have actually picked to work together with Mr. Trump’s efforts to damn and denigrate the stability of chosen state district attorneys and trial judges and made unproven claims that the Office’s examination, performed through an independent grand jury of typical residents serving New York State, is politically inspired. See, e.g., Annie Grayer et al., Inside the backchannel interactions keeping Donald Trump in the loop on Republican examinations, CNN.com (March 28, 2023), https://tinyurl.com/mr3n675 p (” House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik … and Trump spoke a number of times recently alone, where she strolled him through the GOP’s prepare for an aggressive action to Bragg.”). We prompt you to avoid these inflammatory allegations, withdraw your need for info, and let the criminal justice procedure continue without illegal political disturbance.
If you will not withdraw your demand, we repeat our determination to fulfill and consult you or your personnel about how we can accommodate your demand without breaking our responsibilities as district attorneys to safeguard the stability of a continuous prosecution. We respectfully ask for that you offer us with a list of concerns you want to ask District Attorney Bragg and to explain the kind of files you believe we might produce that would relate to your questions without breaking New York grand jury secrecy guidelines or disrupting the criminal case now prior to a court. We trust you will make a good-faith effort to reach a worked out resolution prior to taking the extraordinary and unconstitutional action of serving a subpoena on a district lawyer for details associated to a continuous state prosecution.
Respectfully Submitted,
Leslie B. Dubeck
General Counsel
