Jordan noted that a New York Times article from 2022 said Colangelo has "a history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business." The NYT also wrote that Bragg's decision to hire the former high-ranking DOJ official signaled that his office was seeking to "ramp up its investigation" into Trump.
"Bragg's prosecution concerns federal subject matter identical to a matter that the Justice Department closed in 2018, raising concerns that a state-level prosecutor is seeking to relitigate an issue on which the federal government previously declined prosecution," Jordan's letter read. "In addition, Bragg's prosecution relies heavily on the testimony of his star witness, Michael Cohen, a convicted felon with a demonstrable animus towards President Trump."
