House Republicans are attempting to use their majority to impede the investigation of former President Donald Trump's alleged involvement in a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. They are accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of being politically motivated and attempting to thwart his investigation. Trump is under investigation by Bragg and a grand jury could vote on whether to indict Trump as early as this week, prompting House Republicans to use government power to try to keep his legal threats at bay.
