Letitia James Asked to Turn Over Documents

Representative Jim Jordan is asking New York Attorney General Letitia James to hand over documents and communications related to a prosecutor working on former President Donald Trump's hush money case.

Jordan, the Ohio Republican who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to James requesting all documents and communications about Matthew Colangelo, an attorney working for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg previously employed by James' office and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Bragg's office is trying Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to an alleged hush money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Bragg alleged the payment was meant to prevent her from speaking publicly about her claims of having an affair with the former president.
