House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday requested an interview with Jay Bratt, who is a top prosecutor on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. 

The request is Jordan's latest focus on investigating people who are prosecuting Trump, and focuses on three White House meetings Bratt has taken since President Joe Biden took office. Jordan has accused Bratt of raising the specter of impropriety by taking the meetings.

Only one of the meetings, which was the final meeting, took place after the National Archives informed the Justice Department it was having issues recovering records from Trump’s presidency, according to The Hill. The third meeting was related to Mar-a-Lago but was allegedly a meeting with someone who worked under both Trump's and Biden's administrations, and discussed moving boxes.

Jordan requested documents related to the meetings, along with communications about the White House meetings.

“Your course of conduct continues to raise serious concerns about the abusive tactics of the Office of the Special Counsel and the Department’s commitment to impartial justice,” Jordan wrote in the letter. “As indicated by defense lawyers and unsealed documents, you have engaged in a series of improper actions and unethical conduct that violate the Department’s duty to impartial justice.”

The letter comes after House Republicans vowed to crack down on funding for federal agencies in the wake of Trump's guilty verdict in his hush money trial last week. Jordan has called to defund the FBI and the Justice Department over its alleged politicization regarding the Trump trial.  

Jordan also signed a criminal referral regarding first son Hunter Biden, accusing him of lying to Congress.
