The attorneys, Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, had sought to indict Trump in 2022, but their legal theories were rejected by Bragg, prompting their resignations. After Trump declared his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, Bragg reversed his decision, and Jordan has criticized this as an "unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority."
In the letters, Jordan has requested all documents and communication between the Manhattan DA's office and the Department of Justice regarding the Trump investigation, as well as all documents between the two officials and the Manhattan DA's office regarding their appointments as special assistant district attorneys. He is also seeking to ascertain whether Cohen, Bragg's key witness, can fairly be considered an unbiased and credible witness considering he pleaded guilty in 2018 to several crimes, including paying hush money to influence the elections as well as lying and other campaign finance violations.

Jordan has concluded that "the totality of these facts is that Bragg’s impending indictment is motivated by political calculations. The facts of this matter have not changed since 2018, and no new witnesses have emerged. The Justice Department examined the facts in 2019 and opted not to pursue further prosecutions. Even still, according to reporting, the investigation ‘gained some momentum this year,’ and Bragg’s office ‘convened a new grand jury in January to evaluate the issue.’ The only intervening factor, it appears, was President Trump’s announcement that he would be a candidate for President in 2024."
Jordan's letters come days after Trump announced he would be arrested in New York and urged his supporters to protest. No arrest was made; only a small group of people appeared outside Trump Tower.
