Savvy GOP meddling could kneecap the Trump hush money probe. Here's how Alvin Bragg could fight it.
. The Supreme Court noted that the “congressional power to obtain information is ‘broad’ and ‘indispensable.’” But it also noted that the power has limitations, noting, for example, that “a congressional subpoena is valid only if it is ‘related to, and in furtherance of, a legitimate task of the Congress.’” The court also noted subpoenas should not be overly broad, unsubstantiated by evidence, or unduly burdensome to enforce.
A subpoena violating that norm would disrupt the basic elements of our adversarial system of justice. Moreover, such a subpoena would run afoul of each of the requirements set out by the Mazars Supreme Court case. The asserted legislative purposes are plainly insufficient given the “fundamental policy against federal interference with state criminal prosecutions.” The request is far broader than necessary for any legitimate legislative purpose, as it requests a breathtaking swath of documents containing confidential and sensitive information.
