Republicans defend Trump amid hush money case and potential indictment.

TL;DR Summary
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has dismissed another letter by three House Republican chairmen seeking more information related to the hush money probe that could lead to an indictment of former President Donald Trump. Bragg pushed back in a statement shared to Twitter Saturday evening, stating that "It is not appropriate for Congress to interfere with pending local investigations." The move marked the first investigatory action from the committees after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., vowed to scrutinize the people who have been investigating Trump.
