TL;DR Summary

Rep. Jim Jordan has argued that the court has no authority to block his subpoena of a lawyer who worked on the Manhattan DA's investigation of former President Donald Trump. Lawyers for the House Judiciary Committee argued that lawmakers have a right to probe whether ex-presidents are being subjected to "politically motivated state investigations and prosecutions." Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg sued Jordan and the committee last week to block that subpoena and other requests for documents and testimony, calling it an "unprecedentedly brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress on an ongoing New York State criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald J. Trump."
