<p>Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg&#8217;s team sent out a defiant public message after House Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-launch-probe-into-manhattan-das-unprecedented-abuse-of-office-to-target-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened an investigation</a> into the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/manhattan-da-issues-scathing-response-gop-letter-possible-trump-indictment-we-will-not-be-intimidated" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported on Tuesday</a> a statement from a Bragg spokesperson one day after GOP lawmakers demanded records and testimony from the prosecutor who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-launch-probe-into-manhattan-das-unprecedented-abuse-of-office-to-target-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is investigating</a> Trump over alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election cycle.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law,&#8221; the spokesperson said. &#8220;In every prosecution, we follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work.&#8221;</p>
<p>A trio of House Republican committee chairmen <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/jordan-comer-steil-demand-communications-documents-and-testimony-manhattan-da" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent a letter to Bragg</a> on Monday announcing an investigation and demanding communications, documents, and testimony in response to reports indicating that an indictment against Trump was imminent.</p>
<p>House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) signed onto the letter that warned of &#8220;an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump said over the weekend he expected to be arrested on Tuesday and called on his supporters to protest. A spokesperson for the former president later said Trump received <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-received-no-notification-than-illegal-leaks-possible-arrest-next-week-spokesperson-says?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no &#8220;notification&#8221;</a> other than &#8220;illegal leaks&#8221; to the media — likely referring to reports about law enforcement preparing for the possibility of an indictment.</p>
<p>Just what a possible indictment against Trump will look like remains uncertain, but there is widespread expectation that it would center on a charge of <a href="https://time.com/6264605/trump-critics-stormy-daniels-case-weak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bookkeeping</a> <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/rush-hour/legal-expert-trump-indictment-no-slam-dunk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fraud</a> to cover up an alleged affair, which the former president denies happened. Trump, who announced a third campaign for the White House in November, claims Bragg&#8217;s inquiry is politically motivated and denies any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who led the first of two impeachment cases against Trump, condemned his Republican colleagues for opening an investigation into Bragg&#8217;s endeavor.</p>

<p>&#8220;Defending Trump is not a legitimate legislative purpose for Congress to investigate a state district attorney,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/danielsgoldman/status/1637813620896841729" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldman said in a tweet</a>. &#8220;Congress has no jurisdiction to investigate the Manhattan DA, which receives no federal funding nor has any other federal nexus.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jordan <a href="https://twitter.com/Jim_Jordan/status/163818925409" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a fiery tweet</a> chastising Democrats for criticizing his inquiry.</p>
<p>&#8220;Democrats think it’s ok for them to examine and defund local police,&#8221; Jordan said. &#8220;But not ok for Republicans to examine a local prosecutor in Manhattan abusing his power to take down a political opponent.&#8221;</p>
