Former President Trump slammed the Manhattan District Attorney’s office on Thursday in part saying they have “NOCASE.”
“Total disarray in the Manhattan D.A.’s Office. Tremendous dissension and chaos because they have NO CASE, and many of the honest people in the Office know it, and want to do the right thing. They think back to the Late, Great, Bob Morgenthau, the best ever, and know what he would have done. JUSTICE FOR ALL!” Trump said Thursday.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), demanded the DA turn over all documents and communications about the case.

But on Thursday, Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg. snubbed House Republicans’ request Thursday for documents and testimony about the Trump Stormy Daniels case, dismissing it as an “unprecedented inquiry” with no legitimate basis.
The general counsel for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “slammed” the congressional request as “an unlawful incursion into New York’s sovereignty.”
“The Letter only came after Donald Trump created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day and his lawyers reportedly urged you to intervene,” Leslie Dubeck wrote in the letter. “Neither fact is a legitimate basis for congressional inquiry.”
The chairmen requested testimony, documents, and copies of any communications with the Justice Department to be turned over by Thursday.

The request came as Republicans in the House quickly rallied around the former president as a grand jury in New York debated whether to bring an indictment against him.
“If a grand jury brings charges against Donald Trump, the DA’s Office will have an obligation, as in every case, to provide a significant amount of discovery from its files to the defendant so that he may prepare a defense,” Dubeck wrote.
