new york, the grand jury that's investigating for president trump and hush money payments that were made maria daniels is set to meet again today. it's still unclear if and when the jury may vote on what would be historic indictment, if that is what they choose to pursue the district attorney here in manhattan, alvin bragg, is accusing house republicans are interfering with his investigation. meanwhile, they're demanding that he testified about the probe. bragg says it's not appropriate, though for him to do that, because he's a local prosecutor, and they say it's a local case. but house republicans, not just any house republicans, three chairmen are refusing to back down. we haven't seen charges. we haven't seen evidence. what if district attorney brag, comes forward with an indictment with evidence and proof that donald trump did commit these crimes. you still think he shouldn't be charged. well we believe that he should come explain to us exactly what he's investigating . because at the end of the day, this is a presidential

manhattan d.a.'s case is purely political while one republican senator is calling for the d.a.'s aarrest. cnn's lauren be fox is on capitol hill for us with the latest. lauren? >> well, there is no indictment yet, brianna, but house republicans already coming to the former president's dfs. y you had a letter yesterday by three top republican chairmen saying they wanted to hear testimony as well as get documents from the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. you also had kevin mccarthy the house speaker saying this earlier today down in orlando. >> this was personal money. he wasn't trying to hide. this was seven years ago. statute of limitations. and i think in your heart of hearts you know too this is political. but i get concerned when i see out there and i see justice not being equal to others. with a local d.a. playing in presidential politics. if that starts right there don't
mccarthy yesterday promising me and other reporters that there would be some kind of investigatory action from his house majority. and now today you see some of the top chairmen on capitol hill from the oversight, administration and judiciary committees, issuing a letter to bragg that they want him to come testify before them. that's important because it's not a subpoena, at least not yet. it is the first ask we've seen from them to to try to start this conversation, an active counterpunch to what we're seeing out of the manhattan d.a.'s office. it echoes, frankly, in action, what they have been saying in rhetoric. for instance, here is jim jordan and top republican leader tom emmer speaking about their view of it. >> first they went after president trump on russia, then it was a phone call with zelenskyy, then they wanted his tax returns, then they go after his business records, then they
sending this letter to the d.a. in new york and the governor of florida saying that this was a political kind of activity going on versus a legal one, what's your reaction to that? >> well, look, obviously congress and people in public office have the right to question other people in public office. so that's understandable. now, it's clear here, though, that these individuals have been pressured into defending former president trump, and this is what happens in the republican party every day, jose. there is this intense pressure to show loyalty to donald trump. so yes, some of these elected officials might have legitimate questions about this prosecution, but at the same time, they're acting under duress. they need to show to their base voters that they're loyal to donald trump. >> how is this playing to those base voters? and i'm talking more about the possible indictment of the former president, maybe as early as tomorrow, could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony, could be nothing, but how does that play? >> well, jose, for donald
he can't run. is he prepared to appear in court to defend himself? >> one thing i will tell you about donald trump in mi time knowing him and representing him and having the honor of representing, is he's probably the toughest guy i've ever met because most people would buckle under this pressure. is he prepared? he's prepared. i'm prepared. susan nicholas' is prepared and my co-counsel will lean on this thing. we're prepared and this case will be eaten up and it fails on the law and it fails on the facts. he's prepared. does he want this to happen? of course, not. does anyone want to be charged falsely for a crime of political persecution? of course not. all we have to look at is the facts of the law and it is very clear. campaign finance law is very clear. you have scholars and former chairmen of the federal and state campaign finance committees who have all said, all opined, show me one who says differently that these facts make out a crime. they do not. >> the only thing i'd say is if
bulldog, or labrador retriever. >> i want to say the french bulldog, but -- >> what do you have? >> i have a beagle, a rescue beagle. his name is duke, he's wonderful. >> yeah, me too. >> i'm going to say golden retriever. >> golden, classic. my neighbors had them growing up, but it's the labrador retriever. we'll give you a half a point. french bulldog was number two. let's try a dc sports question. the washington football team recently changed names. which one of these was not considered for the new name of that washington football team qub the red hogs, the chairman, or the arma da. they had eight fooiinalists. two of these were on the list. >> chairmen, not considered. >> the washington chairmen, that wouldn't be a fun football team. you're right, jim. you got that right, baby! >> it's hard enough for these guys. if you called them the chairmen, it would be even worse. >> that's a fair point. >> scott, it's been great
