Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Stands Firm Against Congressional Pressure
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has made it clear to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) that he is willing to cooperate but only after the legal process regarding former President Trump is concluded.
Jordan had demanded Bragg’s testimony before Congress next week, prompting a response from the DA’s office. Bragg expressed his willingness to cooperate but cited scheduling conflicts that could delay his appearance.

In his response, Bragg emphasized his commitment to transparency and cooperation with the committee. However, he made it clear that he would not discuss Trump’s case until after the sentencing and appeals process.
Recognizing Jordan’s intentions to influence the ex-president’s sentencing, Bragg remained steadfast in his position. He understands that Jordan lacks any authority over his office and cannot dictate the legal proceedings.
While Jordan can request Bragg’s testimony, the DA holds the power to decide the timing. Any attempt to compel his appearance would likely fail in court, leaving Jordan with limited options.
Despite Jordan’s efforts to intervene in Trump’s case, Bragg’s stance remains unchanged. The DA is focused on upholding the law without succumbing to political pressures.
The Futility of Jordan’s Actions
Jordan’s persistent attempts to assist Trump have faced consistent opposition from legal authorities. Bragg’s firm stance reflects a commitment to the rule of law, signaling that the legal process will proceed without external interference.
