Manhattan DA Bragg faces GOP pressure over Trump investigation.

The New York District Attorney's office investigating former President Donald Trump called Republican requests for its documents and testimony "an unprecedent inquiry into a pending local prosecution." Earlier this week, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Comer, R-Ky., and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wisc., sent Bragg a letter demanding documents, communications and testimony related to his investigation of the former president. In response, the General Counsel for the District Attorney of New York County Leslie Dubeck wrote Thursday that the congressional request suggested their inquiry is designed to "punish" the office for its investigation, and "is therefore indefensible."
