House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Friday asked that Matthew Colangelo, senior counsel for the Manhattan district attorney, testify before the committee as House Republicans continue their investigation into the district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Jordan told Colangelo in a letter that he was “uniquely situated” to aid in their investigation because of his work for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as well as his history of working on legal pursuits against Trump.
Jordan noted Colangelo’s previous experience with the New York attorney general and his position as a top official in President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice. Both entities had “competing investigations” into Trump while Colangelo worked at them, Jordan observed.
