Manhattan District Legal professional Alvin Bragg’s normal counsel made an vital level in a letter of reply to Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), who had earlier demanded paperwork and testimony regarding Bragg’s investigation into alleged hush-money funds Trump organized for adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.
