In a report released on Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for allowing political vendetta to influence his charges against Trump.
In their press release, the committee highlighted, “The fundamental mission of any prosecutor’s office is to uphold the rule of law, and one of the hallmarks of this mission is to ensure that justice is blind—applied fairly and equally.”
“Bragg’s politically motivated prosecution of President Trump threatens to destroy this notion of blind justice by using the criminal justice system to attack an individual he disagrees with politically, and, in turn, erodes the confidence of the American people,” the committee added.
The report entitled “An Anatomy of a Political Persecution: The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s Vendetta Against President Donald J. Trump” reveals “how the New York County District Attorney’s Office’s (DANY) investigation and prosecution of President Trump is the product of prosecutorial focus on one individual in search of a crime.”
The report exposed Bragg’s attempt to raise his misdemeanor charges, with 34 counts of falsifying business records, into a felony by using a complex conspiracy theory against the former president.
The committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), remarked, “The DANY has been investigating President Trump since at least 2018, searching for any legal theory on which to bring charges,” the report states. “These charges are normally misdemeanors subject to a two-year statute of limitations, but Bragg used a novel and untested legal theory—previously declined by federal prosecutors—to bootstrap the misdemeanor allegations as a felony, which extended the statute of limitations to five years, by alleging that records were falsified to conceal a second crime.”
Furthermore, the facts presented by Bragg’s prosecutors remain the same as in 2018, using the same witnesses.
“The Justice Department examined the facts in 2019 and chose not to prosecute the case,” the committee stated.
Bragg’s charges against Trump rely on Michael Cohen’s testimony, who has been convicted of perjury and has been a vocal critic of Trump.
The committee further remarked that Bragg brought the case forward as he succumbed to a pressure campaign from special prosecutor Mark Pomerantz.
Pomerantz, a Hilary Clinton donor, led an investigation into President Trump’s finances. He wrote the book “People vs Donald Trump.”
In 2022, the former prosecutor resigned for Bragg’s initial doubts about pursuing a criminal case against Trump.
“Pomerantz’s book was part of a public pressure campaign to force District Attorney Alvin Bragg into action,” the Judiciary Committee said in the release.
The report also states how his book shows how the “Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, populated with partisans who openly bragged about their desire to get President Trump, used its immense power in the persecution of a person, not a crime.”
“He looked high and low for all the possible ways to take down the president. When nothing panned out, he left Alvin Bragg’s office in disgust and wrote a book for the purpose of bringing public pressure on Bragg to bring some charge–and it worked,” Jordan said in an interview with Fox News.
“The whole trial is entirely political and everyone knows it.”
Glad to hear that the Newsoms have gathered their wits about them and have abandoned destructive and inept Gavin Newsom but Desquantis???? Equally dumb!!
Why is there no legal remedy for extremely political prosecutions, with no evidence, and no named crime? What the hell is wrong with all the ‘legal scholars’ and scumbag lawyers, who boast about their legal prowess? Perhaps, after the next election, they will vanish, and never be heard from again, because of their cowardice, and corruption.
I sincerely pray that they get off their thumbs and take some REAL action against him instead of just talking about it!
They’re fighting the media and s corrupt judge.
There’s no action to take . They got NOTHING ! So don’t have a fit .
Are all the judges and so called scholars will just remain quite and don’t do anything about this? Everyone is saying this is wrong abd there was no crime committed but then there is no action to stopped this injustice!

How in God’s name is this Country allowing this to happen to President Trump? I am sick and tired of waking up only to hear he has been charged over and over again! This should not be happening in this Country! It’s all a part of going after your political opponent and destroying this Country at the same time! The Trump Family is being dragged through a Pathetic attempt to interfere in a U.S election! I hope in the end President Trump gets back every dam dime he has had to spend. After all this is also an attempt to bankrupt him! Shame on this Country for not putting an end to this persecution! God Bless you, President Trump. Thank you for showing us how corrupt the Biden Administration is and for standing up for all of us. We would be next!
The department of Just-US has been on a slippery slope for at least 30 years and grows more corrupt each year. If we do not stop them, we will all experience the Stilags of Hitlers Germany.
The way these corrupt judges, attorneys and administration are getting away with this obvious political witch hunt floors me!! We can all only pray President Trump gets a fair election ( which is iffy) and if it’s even possible as we will all be watching like a hawk! I hope he gets in there and destroys all of these idiots! Cleans the swamp and puts an end to this lunacy !
