GOP faces backlash over interference in Trump case.

After former President Donald Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, congressional Republicans directed their anger at District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has been investigating hush-money payments made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Republicans have made Bragg the central target in their defense of Trump, painting him as a case study of a Democratic official who they claim has weaponized the levers of government against a political opponent. Democrats have subtly defended Bragg and the legal system without naming him.
