'Nothing as usual': Jim Jordan trolled as he alleges 'abuse of prosecutorial authority' against Trump

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Rep Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Tuesday, April 30, wrote a letter requesting the Justice Department to hand over records of its former official Matthew Colangelo, who is currently heading the prosecution of former President Donald Trump in the New York criminal trial.

According to the New York Post, Colangelo had served first as acting, and later principal deputy associate attorney general during the first two years of the Biden administration.

He then joined NY District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s team for the hush money case against the presumptive GOP nominee back in December 2022.

What did Jim Jordan write in his letter?

Addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Congressman reportedly wrote in the letter, "Since last year, popularly elected prosecutors — who campaigned for office on the promise of prosecuting President Trump — engaged in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current leading candidate for that office."

"New York County District Attorney (DANY) Alvin Bragg is engaged in one such politicized prosecution, which is being led in part by Matthew B. Colangelo," he continued.

The head of the House Judiciary Committee noted that the NY AG's office previously employed Colangelo for other lawsuits against the Trump administration, and he was brought on board by the DOJ after Joe Biden took over the White House.

Jordan claimed that Bragg asked the prosecutor to "jump start" an investigation into the controversial business tycoon which resulted in 34 felony counts for allegedly falsifying business records about payments made during Trump's first run for the White House in 2016.

"Bragg’s politicized prosecution of President Trump has serious consequences for federal interests,” expressed the Congressman.

"That a former senior Biden Justice Department official is now leading the prosecution of President Biden’s chief political rival only adds to the perception that the Biden Justice Department is politicized and weaponized.”
