Alvin Bragg Breaks Silence About Trump's Potential Arrest

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office provided Newsweek with a letter that Bragg sent to members of the House Judiciary Committee after they sent their own letter "demanding communications, documents, and testimony relating to Bragg's unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority and the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump."

In the letter, Bragg said that he has pledged that his office will "publicly state the conclusion of our investigation—whether we conduct our work without bringing charges, or move forward with an indictment."

Bragg went on to address the letter the House Judiciary Committee previously sent to his office and said: "Your letter dated March 20, 2023, (the 'Letter'), in contrast, is an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution. The letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene. Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry."

Bragg's letter went on to note that compliance with the requests made by the House Judiciary Committee would "interfere with law enforcement."

"The Letter seeks non-public information about a pending criminal investigation, which is confidential under state law," the letter said. "These confidentiality provisions exist to protect the interests of the various participants in the criminal process—the defendant, the witnesses, and members of the grand jury—as well as the integrity of the grand jury proceeding itself.
