  1. Scoop: House GOP targets Manhattan DA

    1. In the short term, Republicans are discussing firing off letters #summoning #employees of the #Manhattan #DA’s office for #sworn #testimony, according to a GOP official familiar with the plans.
    The potential request comes amid speculation about why the hush-money case was suddenly resurrected after being back-burnered by both state and federal prosecutors.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans are not final, noted that #McCarthy, a longtime Trump ally and close friend, is “fully supportive and pushing folks to be #aggressive here.”

    2. Manhattan DA #ALVIN #BRAGG himself is in the GOP’s crosshairs, though it’s not clear if he’ll be immediately summoned.
    “He should come testify before Congress,” Rep. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-Ga.) told us and other reporters, launching into a lengthy tirade about “fake charges” meant to be “used in Democrat ads” against Trump.

    (Note that Bragg told his employees over the weekend that he would “not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York.”)

    Jordan didn’t answer questions about whether he’d subpoena Bragg. Even if he does, it’s almost impossible to imagine Bragg or his subordinates answering questions about an ongoing probe or prosecution
