House Judiciary Committee Investigates Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in Prosecution of Former President Donald Trump

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has requested testimony from Matthew Colangelo, senior counsel to the New York County District Attorney’s Office, as part of an investigation into DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Jordan has asked Colangelo to provide a number of documents and communications related to his employment in the DA’s office, as well as investigations into Trump and his business.

The subpoena, reviewed by The Associated Press, is the latest move by Republicans as they investigate Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s office. The Manhattan D.A.’s office has accused Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee of overstepping its legal authority and infringing on New York state sovereignty.

Colangelo was one of the former Manhattan prosecutors who had been leading a criminal investigation into Donald Trump before quitting last year in a clash over the direction of the probe. In a letter to Colangelo, Jordan, a Trump ally, wrote that “Given your history of working for law-enforcement entities that are pursuing President Trump and the public reporting surrounding your decision to work for the New York County District Attorney’s Office, we request your cooperation with our oversight in your personal capacity.”

The House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is the latest in a series of efforts by Republicans to investigate the prosecution of Trump. The committee has previously requested documents from Vance’s office, as well as from the New York State Attorney General’s office.

It is unclear how Colangelo will respond to the subpoena. However, the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is likely to continue, as Republicans seek to uncover any potential wrongdoing in the prosecution of Donald Trump.
