Manhattan DA Bragg Condemns GOP Interference in Trump Investigation

The Manhattan district attorney's office has criticized three influential congressional Republicans for their efforts to interfere in the investigation into former President Donald Trump. The office's letter noted that before being indicted, Mr. Trump had used his social media platform to denigrate Mr. Bragg, and had threatened "death and destruction" if he were to be charged. The Republican effort to influence Mr. Bragg's investigation mimics Mr. Trump's own efforts, while he occupied the White House, to tar law enforcement officials as partisan actors motivated solely by politics.
