Manhattan DA's Trump case sparks GOP backlash and interference concerns.

TL;DR Summary
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office rejected House GOP chairs' demands for sensitive details about his investigation of former President Donald Trump, calling it "unlawful." Bragg's general counsel, Leslie Dubeck, wrote that the newly launched GOP probe is "an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution." Dubeck indicated that Bragg's office had adopted the Justice Department's longstanding position to refuse to provide Congress with details of ongoing criminal investigations. The senior Republicans' request for information raises unusual questions about the scope of Congress' jurisdiction over state and local criminal matters.
