GOP Rep. Comer Criticizes Trump Probe and Urges Focus on Crime Fighting

Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has demanded that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg testify before Congress about possible criminal charges being levied 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 to testify, calling it an "unlawful incursion into New York's sovereignty." The Republicans fired off another letter re-upping their requests, saying Bragg's offer was "insufficient."
