Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said the DA is willing to testify to House lawmakers on his prosecution of former President Trump, but not when they want.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Friday declined to testify about his prosecution of former President Donald Trump to House lawmakers next week. In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., Bragg's general counsel, Leslie Dubeck, said the district attorney has 'scheduling conflicts' that will keep him from appearing before Congress. However, Dubeck indicated that Bragg may be open to cooperating with the committee in the future.
Dubeck also wrote that the upcoming sentencing hearing for Trump on July 11 and ongoing proceedings in the trial and appellate courts may prevent Bragg from testifying. Trump has said he will appeal his criminal conviction. Dubeck wrote, 'to participate in a public hearing at this time would be potentially detrimental to those efforts.
