Republicans Vowed to Grill Bragg About Trump, but It's Not So Simple [View all]

WASHINGTON — As Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney, prepared to bring criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, House Republicans rallied to Trump’s side, vowing to use their power in Congress to haul in Bragg and force him to turn over documents and answer questions.

The reality, they have privately acknowledged, is much more complicated.

For weeks, top House Republicans and their lawyers have been grappling with how to move forward in their investigation of Bragg amid legal and institutional concerns about overreach and how to enforce a subpoena in court. The situation is a reminder for the new majority, which has promised aggressive inquiries into the Biden administration, that its gavels do not guarantee easy investigative breakthroughs.

Led by Rep. Gym Jordan of Ohio, the Judiciary Committee chair, GOP lawmakers have yet to issue a subpoena for Bragg’s testimony, opting instead for exchanging a series of strongly worded letters.

Gym Jordan is pretty simple.
