GOP's Efforts to Shield Trump from Indictment Face Resistance from Senate Republicans.

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans want to question Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg about his potential indictment of former President Trump, but Senate Republicans are not in favor of the idea. The move by House Republicans is drawing mixed reactions from their colleagues in the Senate, many of whom see serious risks in second-guessing how local prosecutors pursue cases. Even if the summons doesn't result in Bragg appearing before House members, the GOP's request could open the door to future Congresses using their considerable investigative powers to try to influence local prosecutorial decisions.
