Jim Jordan busted for helping Trump 'tamper' with probe: 'Beyond all bounds of what's legal'

Raw Story  

Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg rebuffed a Republican House demand for a peek inside an investigation involving Donald Trump as "unlawful," and MSNBC's Al Sharpton agreed it amounted to "tampering." Bragg's general counsel denied a request for documents and an interview with the district attorney by Judiciary, Oversight and Administration Committee chairs Jim Jordan, James Comer and Bryan Steil, calling the congressional inquiry an "unprecedented" intervention into a pending local prosecution undertaken at Trump's request. "Any man that is up in the middle of the night, that is going with this kind of language, is scared to death," Sharpton said of Trump, who has been posting highly provocative online attacks against Bragg. I mean, we are going beyond all bounds of what is legal, what is respectful, and we have a man who is scared to death, that is up in the middle of the night inciting violence, having a photo with a bat, because he's scared to death he's going to have to face this prosecution."
