filed Tuesday, Bragg calls Jordan’s tactics — which have included subpoenas and, most recently, an announcement that the Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on crime in New York next Monday — “brazen and unconstitutional,” and as well as a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack.”

Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it,” he wrote on Twitter.Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it.The suit seeks to prevent Jordan from enforcing subpoenas related to Bragg’s investigation.
