Sen. Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced Sunday that a subpoena for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is still on the table.
In an appearance on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, Jordan denounced the indictment against former President Donald Trump, and said he would use his position as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee to make Bragg testify in front of Congress, even going so far as to subpoena him if need be."Everything's on the table, Maria," Jordan told host Maria Bartiromo, when asked if Bragg would be subpoenaed if he didn't testify willingly.

You can see that in your response. To the letter that myself, Mr. Style, Mr.
