republican congressman jim jordan for seeking to interfere with the ongoing criminal investigation. from that times report, quote, the 50-page suit filed in federal court in the southern district of new york accuses jordan of a, quote, brazen and unconstitutional attack on the prosecution of mr. trump and a, quote, transparent campaign to intimidate and attack the district attorney lawyers for bragg are seekinr ms congressional allies from enforcing a subpoena they sent to mark pomerpomerantz. mark pomerantz was a leader into the investigation of mr. trump he later wrote a book about the experience viewers of this program may remember he appeared here as well mr. pomerantz resigned last year after mr. bragg, after his first term in office decided not to seek an indictment of trump at the time mr. bragg s lawyers also intend to frercprevent any such lawsuii says is this where we start with our friends, the new york times glenn thrush is here also joining us the former chie

s subordinate the work of the house this early to donald trump s term they have all the other things on their plate right now, all of the other thing this could be cog, and jim jordan apparently has such a short leash from mar-a-lago, that he is going to take this committee, this hearing, to new york city. it is interesting that alvin bragg is pushing back so hard and hitting all of the keynotes, including the fact that this is a campaign to intimidate and obstruct it is an abuse of power. so this is not a trivial or a technical point that alvin bragg is making. charlie, this was jim jordan s response. and i do like to afford them courtesies they don t afford to earth one, where we try to get at the truth and the facts this is jim jordan s response to the lawsuit on twitter first, they indict a president for no crime then they sue the block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do
