Manhattan DA accuses House GOP of unlawful interference in Trump indictment.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg defended his office's decision to indict Donald Trump in a letter to Republican lawmakers, rejecting GOP accusations of political persecution as "baseless and inflammatory." Bragg's office used the letter to respond to those allegations of political bias and to plead with Capitol Hill Republicans to encourage calm, accusing them of engaging in "unlawful political interference." The letter was sent a day after Bragg's office acknowledged that they had issued the first-ever indictment of a former president.
