GOP's Jim Jordan attacks Manhattan DA's Trump probe as politically motivated.
TL;DR Summary
Republican members of Congress, including Jim Jordan, have sent a letter to Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg accusing him of misconduct for a hypothetical indictment of former President Donald Trump. The letter is seen as an attempt to protect Trump, the leading candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. However, the letter is out of bounds as it interferes with the delicate balance of power that keeps the federal government out of state and local matters. The power of state and local prosecutors to manage state and local crime is a good thing for democracy and individual rights.
