GOP's defense of Trump amid possible indictment and arrest.

House Republicans are using their new power to shield former President Donald Trump from indictment by demanding Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s testimony and seeking to thwart his investigation relating to an alleged hush money payment to an adult film star before the 2016 election. The House GOP appears to be using the exact same tactic they accuse the Biden administration, Bragg and any other investigators on Trump’s trail of employing. However, there are doubts about a possible prosecution assembled by Bragg, and the unusual nature of potential charges relating to business and electoral law violations, to fuel questions from nonpartisan legal experts about the case perhaps not living up to its billing.
