Jim Jordan broke New York law with threats to Manhattan DA: legal expert

Raw Story  

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan violated state law in New York with his threats to conduct a congressional investigation of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg over the indictment of Donald Trump, legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said Saturday on his “Justice Matters” podcast. “That is precisely what Jim Jordan has done and is doing.” Jordan issued a subpoena Thursday to former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who worked on the Trump case before resigning last February, Newsweek reported. "The New York County District Attorney's unprecedented prosecutorial conduct requires oversight to inform the consideration of potential legislative reforms that would, if enacted, insulate current and former Presidents from such politically motivated state and local prosecutions," Jordan wrote, according to CBS News. That prompted the following angry response from Bragg: “The House GOP continues to attempt to undermine an active investigation and ongoing New York criminal case with an unprecedented campaign of harassment and intimidation," a spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney's office said Thursday.
