Jim Jordan Hits Back: Subpoena Sent To Manhattan District Attorney’s Office After Trump Verdict

- September 7, 2024

In 2005, then- District Attorney introduced a controversial proposal to delay prosecution of drug dealers until their third offense. The plan faced swift opposition and was quickly rejected by officials.

Harris' proposal suggested that individuals caught selling narcotics would not face charges until they had been arrested for the same offense at least three times. The idea was part of a broader effort to reform the city's approach to drug , focusing resources on more serious offenders while.

Rep. (R-Ohio) sent a subpoena to Manhattan District Attorney on Friday following former President 's conviction on all 34 charges in his hush money trial.

Jordan, the chairman, is requesting Bragg appear before the committee to defend the charges brought against Trump in a hearing before the House Judiciary on June 13.

“The hearing will examine actions by state and local prosecutors to engage [in] politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials, in particular the recent political prosecution of President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office,” Jordan wrote.

The letter concludes by instructing Bragg to confirm his appearance “no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 7, 2024.”

Trump, through an intermediary, was found guilty of paying $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her silent about their alleged affair, violating campaign finance laws.

This isn't Jordan's first time trying to drag Bragg before Congress, as The Hill keenly pointed out:

Bragg's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment but has resisted previous attempts from Jordan to seek his cooperation, including before charges were ever filed in the case.

Bragg's team suggested at the time it was Jordan who was inappropriately interfering in the justice system.

“We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law,” a spokesperson for Bragg's office said when Jordan first requested his testimony in March of last year.

While the trial is now over, Bragg is likely to resist appearing, as other matters regarding the case are ongoing. Trump's sentencing for the case is July 11, and his team has also suggested he will appeal the verdict — details that could make the prosecutor reticent to discuss his work.

Reaction on social media also varied, with many observers concurring that Bragg would likely ignore the subpoena with impunity, similar to how Jordan refused the Jan. 6 panel's requests to answer questions about his correspondence with then-President Trump leading up to the Jan. 6 riot.

Some of Trump's allies on social media are already demanding Jordan agree to have the sergeant-at-arms for the House of Representatives detain Bragg should he defy Congress.
