"Legal Battle Erupts: Bragg vs. Jordan Over Anti-Trump Interference"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is using a legal strategy to defy federal subpoenas by invoking state sovereignty, which he previously used while working in the New York attorney general's office. Bragg's lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan and his House Judiciary Committee seeks to block a subpoena seeking testimony from a former assistant DA who criticized aspects of his Trump investigation. The conflict raises delicate questions about the balance of power between Congress and the states. Bragg's lawsuit replicates many of the arguments made in a 2016 and 2017 subpoena fight over a climate change investigation.
