House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan has sent another letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, threatening a subpoena for information her office has regarding Matthew Colangelo.
A former Biden Justice Department official, Colangelo resigned his post to join the prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump in the Manhattan hush-money trial.
The newest request follows Jordan's initial letter to James on May 15, requesting information and documents related to Colangelo's employment at the New York Attorney General's Office.
The letter claims that preventing politically motivated prosecutions is a significant interest for Congress, particularly for presidents and former presidents.
Jordan reiterated the Committee's request from May 15, urging James to produce the requested documents by July 2, 2024, or face a possible subpoena.
Manhattan District Attorney Bragg and Colangelo have agreed to testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on July 12, a day after Trump's sentencing in the case.
Last month, Jordan had inquired with Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland about the DOJ's involvement in Trump's prosecution.
