Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office revealed to House Republicans on Friday in a letter obtained by Breitbart News that roughly $5,000 in federal funds has gone toward Bragg’s office’s investigation of former President Donald Trump or the Trump Organization.
The funds, Bragg’s general counsel Leslie Dubeck wrote to three powerful GOP chairmen, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), James Comer (R-KY), and Bryan Steil (R-WI), came from the Justice Department’s Asset Forfeiture Fund and were used to investigate Trump and his organization between October 2019 and August 2021, before Bragg took office.
Dubeck also noted that the district attorney’s office was enrolled in three federal grant programs, which allocate more than $2 million total to the Manhattan office for its casework, though she stated that no grant money has been used to pay Trump investigation expenses.
The letter served as a response to the Republicans as they continue a tense back and forth with Bragg, whose office indicted Trump on Thursday in an unprecedented move that elicited nationwide reactions.
The three chairmen initially contacted Bragg when Trump first announced he expected to be arrested this month, and they asked Bragg to testify before Congress through a transcribed interview, as well as provide numerous documents and communications related to the Trump investigation.

It wouldn't be surprising to know the feds are in this up to their ugly necks. That means the American taxpayer is picking up the tab for this atroscity. I think the gig is up, folks. No one is really stopping these communists. They can't even slow them down.
No surprise that the imposter in the White House fights President Donald J. Trump with all means available to him. He also has rinos and gop establishment on his side. But as long as we the people stand behind Trump no matter what, we the people will win eventually.
The moron Bragg has exposed himself and his entire family to be condemed for the rest of their lives. I wonder how much any of his children will be harrised and beaten for his actions.
Bragg is as Marxist as they come. The rule of law means nothing to him. Truly a case of Trump degranement syndrom. And we know the Federal government has been inflicted with it for over 6 years. All of them should be locked up [PERMANENTLY] in a padded room in a mental institution.
Martha- "The Rule of Law" has never meant anything to the democommies! Don't you remember hearing them say "Rules? What rules? We make them up as we go along!"
