Bragg Sues Jim Jordan in Move to Block Interference in Trump Case

Lawyers for Mr. Bragg are seeking to bar Mr. Jordan and his congressional allies from enforcing a subpoena sent to Mark F. Pomerantz, who was once a leader of the district attorney’s Trump investigation and who later wrote a book about that experience. Mr. Pomerantz resigned early last year after Mr. Bragg, just weeks into his first term in office, decided not to seek an indictment of Trump at that time.

I don’t know enough to untangle this thicket of law. I don’t know what, if any, jurisdiction Congress has over a filed state criminal case and I don’t know if the subpoena is “unconstitutional” as Bragg’s lawsuit alleges.
