House Republicans on Friday called on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutor Matthew Colangelo to appear before Congress in June for a public hearing to discuss the case they brought against former President Donald Trump.

The lawmakers asked the two prosecutors to testify before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on June 13. They plan to ask a third person, former Federal Election Commissioner Brad Smith, to appear at the hearing as well, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Their request came one day after Bragg secured a conviction of Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a 2016 hush money scheme.

Colangelo is a former top-ranking official in the Biden administration’s Justice Department who left the DOJ to join the team prosecuting Trump.

He also previously worked in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office, where he conducted investigations into Trump and the Trump Organization.

Republicans have accused Colangelo of having an “obsession” with targeting Trump for political purposes rather than having a sincere concern about crime.

“This hearing will examine actions by state and local prosecutors to engage politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials, in particular the recent political prosecution of President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office,” committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in letters to Bragg and Colangelo on Friday.

Bragg has not confirmed whether he and Colangelo will attend the hearing. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office did not respond to a request for comment.
