House Republicans are pressuring Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James to provide records related to her former employee Matthew Colangelo, who helped secure a criminal conviction against former President Donald Trump last month.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in a letter to James on Tuesday that he will resort to subpoenaing her for the documents if she does not respond to his requests, which he first made one month ago.

The chairman gave her a new deadline of July 2 to reply to him, noting she did not respond at all to the initial letter he wrote in May.

Republicans first launched an inquiry into Colangelo last year, around the same time Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, with the help of Colangelo, brought criminal charges against Trump.

Bragg first enlisted Colangelo in December 2022 to help with white-collar prosecutions at the same time the district attorney was planning behind the scenes for a grand jury to indict Trump. Colangelo was working in a senior role at the Biden Department of Justice on civil litigation, and he had little experience with white-collar prosecution.

Colangelo did, however, have a wealth of knowledge about Trump from his time in James’s office.

Colangelo? Colon jello? How do you say that?

DefiantMassRINO:
What oversight responsibility does Congress have over a state prosecutor?

What happened with Federalism?

What happened with allowing Due Process to run its course?

What happens when Dem Congressmen start issuing subpoenas to Republican state officials?

Why should states yield what the 10th Amendment leaves unto them to help Jim Jordan steamroll States Rights?

Jim Jordan can pound sand until the tide comes in.
