"We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference," Bragg wrote to Reps. James Comer, Jim Jordan and Bryan Steil. Trump, a Republican, has denied any wrongdoing and denounced the investigation as a "scam," a "persecution," an injustice and a political low blow aimed at damaging his 2024 presidential run.Indeed, Trump was asked to surrender Friday, but his lawyers said the Secret Service needed more time to make security preparations, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
