Jim Jordan seeking communications between federal agencies and prosecutors for Trump cases

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio said Tuesday that he is seeking communications between federal agencies and state officials regarding former President Donald Trump's criminal cases. 

"We know that Fani Willis through Nathan Wade was having all kinds of communications with [what] looks like the Justice Department, the January 6 committee [and] maybe even the White House Counsel's Office when they were putting that crazy case together in Atlanta, Georgia," Jordan said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

"We want to know what  was [Matthew] Colangelo doing while he was at DOJ, and then headed over to New York to be part of Alvin Bragg's team," he added. "We'd like to know some answers there. So we're we've subpoenaed information in the Fani Willis case. We're asking for this information in the Alvin Bragg and Colangelo case. We'll see what we get."

Jordan sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland where he requested communications between Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, former senior DOJ official Matthew Colangelo and the Justice Department. Jordan raised concerns about possible cooperation between the DOJ and Bragg's office through Colangelo, who became lead prosecutor in Trump's criminal trial.

Last year, Trump was charged by Bragg with 34 counts of falsifying business documents related to a reimbursement to his lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Trump previously called Bragg’s prosecution a “witch hunt” and a “hoax,” remaining defiant in the face of the allegations.

Earlier this month, Just the News filed an open records lawsuit to obtain communications between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' office and the Biden White House.
