Lawyer who followed Trump dragged himself in front of the House justice committee | House of Representatives

Former prosecutor Jay Bratt is expected to appear next week before Republican's Justice Committee of the Republican, to find cases of politicization in the national cases presented against Donald Trump, three people who are familiar with the matter.

The deposition of Bratt, who headed the criminal proceedings on Trump's alleged abuse as a top representative of the former special advisor Jack Smith, was planned for 10 a.m.

Bratt's appearance is the first known case of a special lawyer who is drawn before the judicial committee, since Trump took office to avenge revenge and to personally steer the shots of more than a dozen prosecutors who worked for Smith within days after his inauguration.

It was not clear how long the deposit could last and whether Bratt was planning to appoint privileges to avoid a statement. A spokesman for the Justice Committee did not immediately answer questions about the deposit.

Smith accused Trump in two cases: in Florida because he had abused classified documents in his Mar-A-Lago Club and opposed a summons that commanded her return; And in Washington to try to cancel the results of the 2020 elections.

The case of the classified documents was dismissed before the US district judge Aileen Cannon was put to trial, who decided that Smith had been illegally appointed because he acted with the powers of a “main representative” in the Ministry of Justice, which required confirmation of the US Senate.

The topics that the investigators prepared for Bratt were also not clear. However, the Justice Committee, headed by Republican Chairman Jim Jordan, has long believed that the special consulting cases were the result of a political animus against Trump in the Ministry of Justice.

In repeated letters to the former special advisor last year, House's investigators asked for information from Smith about contacts between the Weißen Haus of Biden and the Ministry of Justice about criminal matters, including when Bratt once traveled to the White House.

They also searched for documents and communications about meetings between the FBI and officials of the Ministry of Justice before the decision was made to ask a judge for a search order against Mar-A-Lago. Bratt is generally encouraged as a FBI leader to receive an arrest warrant.

The arrest warrant later proved to be the basis for the spy law and the disability of charges against Trump; The FBI has accessed 101 classified documents, although Trump's lawyers had previously claimed that they had followed an earlier summons to return all classified materials.

The justice committee of the house is also of particular interest in a strenuous and controversial meeting between Stanley Woodward and Bratt in the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice during the highlight of the shut -off of the case in November 2022.

The Guardian previously reported that Woodward had submitted to the Federal District Court in Washington when he claimed that Bratt had discussed Woodward's application as a judge while trying to receive Walt Nauta, Trump's servant and Woodward's customer.

Woodward claimed in the submission, Bratt said that he didn't think Woodward was a “Trump type” and that “he would do the right thing” and Nauta would make Nauta say in the case of the closure matters against Trump.

The assertion was that Bratt had initiated a possible misconduct by proposing Woodward's application for judiciary to look around if he had convinced his clients. The matter was referred to the office of the Ministry of Justice for professional responsibility, but it does not seem as if any measures were taken.

The extent of potential effects on the case was unclear because the meeting had no direct statements that Nauta gave the prosecutors, and Bratt would not have had the opportunity to influence such an application that was treated by the lawyer of the White House.
