It turns out that the main hush money prosecutor in Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump, Matthew Colangelo, was paid by the DNC a few years ago for ‘political consulting’.
Colangelo also left a top job in Biden’s corrupt DOJ to prosecute Trump.
Here’s more via the Daily Mail:
The New York prosecutor in the New York City hush money case against Donald Trump was previously hired for ‘political consulting’ by the Democratic National Committee.
The revelations regarding attorney Matthew Colangelo raises concerns over the perceived politicalization of the multiple cases against the former president – and specifically the first case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.
Colangelo, according to a Fox News Digital review of Federal Election Commission records, was paid $12,000 by the DNC on January 31, 2018. It was distributed by DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee in two separate payments of $6,000 on the same day.
The description listed by the FEC for the purpose of the payment to the attorney is labeled ‘Political Consulting.’
Colangelo delivered opening statements in the criminal trial and questioned witnesses over the last three weeks.
The prosecutor left a senior role at Biden’s Justice Department to join Bragg’s office in December 2022.
His hiring came after both attorneys Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne resigned out of protest when Bragg was initially unwilling to indict Trump.
House Republicans are already investigating Colangelo while he prosecutes Trump considering his connections to the Democratic Party and his past work with the Biden administration.
Just four months after Colangelo was brought on to the Manhattan DA’s office, Bragg decided to bring charges against the former president in April 2023. This has raised concerns among Republicans that the case is politicized.
When the DNC paid Colangelo the $12k, he was serving as deputy attorney general for social justice in the New York Attorney General’s office.
I know you’re shocked that Bragg’s top prosecutor is a Democratic operative and this case is nothing more than a politicized hit job. Heh.
