On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) over his attacks on Bragg’s investigations into former President Donald Trump. Left-leaning articles highlight that the lawsuit is asking a federal judge to prevent Jordan from interfering in the criminal probe, while right-leaning articles highlight that the House committee investigating Bragg’s investigation plans to hold a hearing in Manhattan on Monday.
USA Today published a centrist article reporting that Bragg sued Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, for his “unprecedentedly brazen and unconstitutional attack” on a local criminal case. The lawsuit adds fuel to the fire of the conflict between the Democrat D.A. and Republican defenders of Trump in the investigation into hush-money payments Trump made to two adult-film stars ahead of the 2016 election.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that Bragg’s lawyers and office are suing Jordan for his investigation in which members of the House Judiciary Committee are trying to obtain confidential investigative materials that are part of Bragg’s criminal probe into Trump. Bragg’s team is asking a federal judge to prevent Jordan from interfering in the criminal prosecution and investigation and invalidate the House committee’s subpoena of Mark Pomerantz, who recently left Bragg’s office.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that the federal lawsuit claiming Jordan is trying to intimidate the D.A.’s criminal investigation was assigned to U.S. District Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump era appointee. The House Judiciary Committee plans to hold a hearing in Manhattan next Monday to discuss crime in New York City and what it calls Bragg’s “pro-crime, anti-victim” policy—though the D.A.’s office pointed out that crime in Manhattan is declining since Bragg took office.
