Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sued the House Judiciary Committee and its chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan in an effort to block the panel from subpoenaing an attorney who worked on Bragg’s investigation of former President Donald Trump.

Jordan (R-Ohio) subpoenaed Mark Pomerantz April 6, two days after Trump, 76, was arraigned on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. Pomerantz quit Bragg’s office last year after the DA initially decided not to prosecute Trump and later wrote a book calling for the prosecution of the 45th president.

Bragg’s lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, called Jordan’s subpoena an “unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the case against Trump.

“Chairman Jordan’s demands, including his subpoena to Mr. Pomerantz, seek highly sensitive and confidential local prosecutorial information that belongs to the Office of the District Attorney and the People of New York,” the lawsuit read. “Basic principles of federalism and common sense, as well as binding Supreme Court precedent, forbid Congress from demanding it.”
