WASHINGTON (AP) — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to testify before Congress on July 12, a day after former President Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money trial. A spokesperson for Bragg’s office confirmed that he will appear before the House Select Committee on weaponization alongside Matthew Colangelo, the former high-ranking Justice Department official hired by Bragg in 2022 to lead the Trump investigation. The two men will face what’s likely to be a hostile, Republican-controlled hearing where the chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has accused them of having conducted a “political prosecution” in the case against the former president.
