DOJ denies collusion with Bragg's office on Trump prosecution in new letter
Fox News
The Justice Department is denying allegations of collusion with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in former president Trump's New York criminal trial.
"The Committee has demanded information from the Department because of what you describe as a ‘perception that the Justice Department is’ behind the District Attorney’s so-called ‘politicized prosecution’ and a ‘perception that the Biden Justice Department is politicized and weaponized’ to that end," Uriarte wrote in response to an April 30 letter than Jordan sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"The Department does not generally make extensive efforts to rebut conspiratorial speculation, including to avoid the risk of lending it credibility," Uriarte added. "However, consistent with the Attorney General’s commitment to transparency, the Department has taken extraordinary steps to confirm what was already clear: there is no basis for these false claims."
