Republican U.S. House panels seek testimony from Manhattan DA in Trump probe

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican chairmen of three U.S. House of Representatives committees on Monday asked for communications, documents, and testimony from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg related to a probe into alleged hush payments to a porn star by former President Donald Trump.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil made the request in a letter to Bragg. Trump said over the weekend he expects to be arrested on Tuesday as New York prosecutors consider charges against him.
