On Friday, the Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government issued a demand for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his deputy, Matthew Colangelo, to appear on Capitol Hill for a June 13 hearing.

The demand comes the morning after former President Donald Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over 2016 payments to an attorney marked as “legal expenses.” …

Bragg ran for the top New York County prosecutor’s office on a platform to prosecute Trump in 2021. …

Colangelo was previously the no. 3 official in the Justice Department, and he joined Bragg’s team at the local prosecutor’s office in December 2022 as the Manhattan attorneys prepared to indict Trump. Colangelo had also worked at the New York State Attorney General’s Office, which sought to bankrupt the former president in another politicized investigation. House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee wrote a letter to New York Democrat Attorney General Letitia James two weeks ago demanding records related to Colangelo’s time there.

“Mr. Colangelo’s recent employment history demonstrates his obsession with investigating a person rather than prosecuting a crime,” wrote Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. …
