DA's Trump-Targeting Lawyer Could Be Key to Winning Case

Matthew Colangelo, a little-known lawyer who has been pursuing Donald Trump for years, is now a key prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's team pursuing criminal charges against the former president. Colangelo has faced violent threats and has been targeted by right-wing media and MAGA allies. His legal work shows a zeal for progressive civil rights and fair housing prices for Blacks, which is particularly pertinent given that he is prosecuting a real estate tycoon who once engaged in illegal housing discrimination against African Americans. Colangelo has been involved in monumental constitutional challenges to Trump's policies and has investigated the Trump Organization's business practices.

Congressional Probes into Manhattan DA's Hiring Practices in Trump Investigation

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan has expanded his probe into the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office by asking to speak with one of the leading prosecutors in the inquiry into former President Trump’s hush money dealings. Jordan has issued a subpoena to Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from the DA’s office about a year ago over disagreements with Bragg over the Trump case. Bragg has reprimanded Jordan for “interfering in an ongoing criminal matter in state court.”

"Jordan's Subpoenas in Trump Probe Draw Criticism"

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is seeking voluntary cooperation from the Manhattan District Attorney's senior counsel, Matthew Colangelo, as part of his investigation into the office's probe of former President Donald Trump. The letter to Colangelo cites his prior experience at the Department of Justice and the New York attorney general's office to suggest he has a history of taking on Trump and his businesses. The move comes as key allies of Trump attempt to frame his recent indictment as politically motivated.
