Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutor Matthew Colangelo have agreed to testify publicly before the House Judiciary Committee next month, Fox News Digital has learned.
EXCLUSIVE: The hearing is expected to take place on July 12 — just a day after the scheduled sentencing hearing for former President Trump, who was found guilty in New York on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, had invited Bragg to testify Thursday of this week, but due to 'scheduling conflicts,' the testimony needed to be postponed.
Instead, this Thursday, Jordan will host a broad oversight hearing on New York v. Trump on Capitol Hill, featuring testimony from Federal Election Commissioner Trey Trainor; Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey; and attorney Elizabeth Foley, who penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal during the six-week-long Trump trial that said the proceedings violated basic due-process principles.
Colangelo joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office in December 2022. Jordan has been demanding that Garland turn over records related to Colangelo’s employment at the Justice Department, as he conducts 'oversight of politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials.' Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
