Alvin Bragg refuses to testify before House on Trump trial until after July 11 sentencing, calls it ‘detrimental’ to ‘fair administration of justice’
The letter stated that participating in such a public hearing would be “potentially detrimental” to “protecting the fair administration of justice” in the case.
On Friday, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg signaled that he would be willing to testify about his prosecution of Donald Trump in his falsified business records document, but not until after Trump is sentenced in July.
Bragg’s general counsel Leslie Dubeck wrote in a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Friday that Bragg’s office is “committed to voluntary cooperation” after Jordan requested that Bragg testify before the Weaponization of the Government subcommittee on June 13. This comes after Trump was found guilty in late May on 34 felony counts of falsified business records brought forth by Bragg’s office.
“That cooperation includes making the District Attorney available to provide testimony on behalf of the Office at an agreed-upon date, and evaluating the propriety of allowing an Assistant District Attorney to testify publicly about an active prosecution to which he is assigned,” the letter, obtained by Politico, stated.
“However, the proposed date that the Subcommittee selected without consulting the Office presents various scheduling conflicts. In addition, the Committee’s invitation has not made clear the scope of the proposed testimony; and trial court proceedings in People v. Trump are currently scheduled to continue through July 11, 2024.”
Not a single one of the signatories of the infamous spy letter that called reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop “Russian disinformation” ahead of the 2020 election has retracted their made-up claim, according to a report.
The signatories, numbering 51 in total, apparently knew the claim was false at the time, because the FBI was in possession of Hunter’s laptop. Current Secretary of State Antony Blinken allegedly coordinated the story for political purposes.
FBI agent Erika Jensen, a witness in Hunter’s gun trial, told the court last week the laptop was real and “no” tampering occurred with the machine. Jensen’s testimony debunked claims that the laptop’s data was subjected to “hacking” and “manipulation,” or was somehow a Russian disinformation plot to help former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign.
Shortly after Breitbart News’ Emma-Jo Morris, formerly of the New York Post, first reported the “laptop from hell” story in October 2020, CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand wrote the infamous and now discredited Politico story that used “dozens of former intel officials” to push a false and misleading narrative about the origins of Hunter’s laptop.
