"Battle over Trump investigation intensifies between Manhattan DA and House GOP"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accused House Republicans of interfering in his office's investigation into former President Donald Trump. The GOP chairs of the Judiciary, Oversight, and Administration Committees requested documents and testimony from Bragg, but he stated that it was not appropriate for Congress to interfere with local investigations. The investigation is raising questions about Congress' jurisdiction over state and local criminal matters, and the GOP lawmakers argue that they could use the information to pass potential legislation to protect former and current presidents from politically motivated prosecutions.
