Manhattan DA Sues Rep. Jim Jordan to Stop ‘Intimidation’
Faced with retaliation from MAGA Republicans for indicting former President Donald Trump, the Manhattan district attorney has taken the remarkable step of suing to stop a congressional committee from meddling in his active criminal case.
On Tuesday, DA Alvin Bragg Jr. filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), citing “a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction.”
Jordan has turned his new role as head of the House Judiciary Committee—which is normally tasked with holding government agencies accountable—into a weapon against Democrats that is laser-focused on vengeance in defense of Trump.
