Bragg confirms federal funds used in Trump probe, bolstering GOP investigation.

[JGalt]

Uff da. Those House Republicans are going to have a field day with this one.

"Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office revealed to House Republicans on Friday in a letter obtained by Breitbart News that roughly $5,000 in federal funds has gone toward Bragg’s office’s investigation of former President Donald Trump or the Trump Organization.

The funds, Bragg’s general counsel Leslie Dubeck wrote to three powerful GOP chairmen, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), and Bryan Steil (R-WI), came from the Justice Department’s Asset Forfeiture Fund and was used to investigate Trump and his organization between October 2019 and August 2021, before Bragg took office.

Dubeck also noted that the district attorney’s office was enrolled in three federal grant programs, which allocate more than $2 million total to the Manhattan office for its casework, though she stated that no grant money has been used to pay Trump investigation expenses.

The letter served as a response to the Republicans as they continue a tense back and forth with Bragg, whose office indicted Trump on Thursday in an unprecedented move that elicited nationwide reactions.

The three chairmen initially contacted Bragg when Trump first announced he expected to be arrested this month, and they asked Bragg to testify before Congress through a transcribed interview, as well as provide numerous documents and communications related to the Trump investigation..."

I guess Alvin can take that middle finger he tried to give them and put it back in his ass.

His admission means they can subpoena him. For legislative purposes of course, just as the Pelosi House used that reasoning to obtain the Trump tax records and SCOTUS went along.

Republicans will have no say in this.

"Now that Trump has been indicted, legal experts say that the window for some sort of Republican retaliation via Congress has all but closed.

"There is little House Republicans can do to interfere," national security attorney Bradley Moss told Newsweek on Friday via email. "No court is going to uphold a subpoena demanding Bragg provide testimony on the details of a pending trial. Indeed, to do so would arguably be prejudicial to Mr. Trump."

"We are all spinning our wheels without having seen the indictment," Moss added, saying it's unknown to all how strong the case is and where it could lead.

GOP members' power has become "very limited" in the span of less than two weeks, legal analyst and attorney Norman Eisen told Newsweek on Friday via email.

"They may as they have threatened try to subpoena Bragg," Eisen said. "But because they have made so clear their improper purpose of interfering with a pending state prosecution to benefit of political ally, the courts are unlikely to force Bragg to testify about that. Constitutional principles of federalism sharply limit the GOP caucus here."

If those funds were spent before Bragg took office, I suggest they subpoena the fomer Manhattan DA, to find out how federal funds were spent.

And Soros thought the Manhattan DA'S office and himself were exclusive.
He gonna be mad.
