A court hearing will be held in Lower Manhattan about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's lawsuit against House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.
Bragg filed a federal lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan on last Tuesday, accusing the Republican of a "transparent campaign to intimidate and attack" him over his indictment of former President Donald Trump.

The House Judiciary Committee recently issued a subpoena seeking testimony from a former prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz, who previously oversaw the Trump investigation and sparred with Bragg over the direction of the probe before leaving the office last year. The committee has also sought documents and testimony from Bragg and his office. Bragg has rejected those requests.on crime in New York City and what it alleges are Bragg's "pro-crime, anti-victim" policies. The D.A.

Bragg, in his lawsuit, said he's taking legal action "in response to an unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress on an ongoing New York State criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald J. Trump."Trump was indicted March 30 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments made during the 2016 campaign to bury allegations that he had extramarital sexual encounters.
