Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Sunday that\u00a0Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg doesn\u2019t have a choice on whether to testify before Congress about possible criminal charges being levied against former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper that Bragg\u2019s investigation into Trump\u2019s alleged hush money payments during the 2016 presidential election are a federal matter and should be brought to the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/a><\/p>\n

“This is not a local investigation, this is a federal investigation,” Comer said. “He’s investigating a presidential candidate, not to mention former president of the United States, for a federal election crime. That has no business being litigated in a local district attorney’s office.”<\/p>\n

“And when he says he’s not going to cooperate with Congress, unfortunately for Mr. Bragg, he doesn’t have the luxury of determining whether or not he can comply with congressional requests, because he crossed over two levels of government, from the local level to the federal level, to try to prosecute something that clearly if there was a reason for prosecution, it should be done by the Department of Justice,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TIED TO TRUMP: NEW YORK DA’S ACTIONS HAVE SOME REPUBLICANS RALLYING TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter<\/a> last week signed by Comer and House Committee on Administration Chairman Brian Steil, R-Wis., demanding that Bragg testify before Congress in the wake of his “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.”<\/p>\n

The letter also demanded that Bragg turn over records and communications related to the case or the office’s receipt and use of federal funds.<\/p>\n

Bragg\u2019s office said<\/a> the DA would not cooperate with the request to testify, calling the lawmakers’ requests “an unlawful incursion into New York\u2019s sovereignty.”<\/p>\n

“Nonetheless, to assist Congress in understanding the ways in which the DA\u2019s Office has used federal funds, we are preparing and will submit a letter describing its use of federal funds,” the office responded in a letter.<\/p>\n

The Republicans fired off another letter Saturday re-upping their requests, saying Bragg\u2019s offer was “insufficient.”<\/p>\n

“While we appreciate your offer to submit a letter detailing the District Attorney\u2019s Office\u2019s use of federal funds,\u00a0and we look forward to that submission, such a letter\u00a0alone does not\u00a0satisfy our oversight requests or\u00a0preclude\u00a0the Committees\u00a0from proceeding with\u00a0them,” the letter said.<\/p>\n

Comer said on CNN Saturday that “it\u2019s not a sincere argument to say it\u2019s a local investigation when you\u2019re investigating a presidential candidate and the former president of the United States.”<\/p>\n

“We believe that [Bragg] should come explain to us exactly what he\u2019s investigating,” he said.\u00a0“If Mr. Bragg wants to come in and explain to us what he\u2019s doing, and he makes a good explanation, he makes a good argument, and we see that we\u2019re in an area where we don\u2019t belong, as some of the Republican senators say, then we\u2019ll back off. But we\u2019re sick and tired of the meddling in federal elections, and I don\u2019t believe that Bragg would be doing this if Donald Trump were not running for president.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
