Comer clashes with Bragg over Trump probe and crime fighting priorities.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has demanded that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg testify before Congress about possible criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. Comer argues that Bragg's investigation into Trump's alleged hush money payments during the 2016 presidential election is a federal matter and should be brought to the U.S. Department of Justice. Bragg's office has refused to cooperate with the request, calling it an "unlawful incursion into New York's sovereignty." Comer and other Republicans have criticized Bragg's "unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority" and are demanding records and communications related to the case or the office's receipt and use of federal funds.
