Here is the letter Jordan sent to Bragg:

Jordan asked Bragg to testify before his committee.
Jim Jordan has no control over Alvin Bragg. There is nothing Jordan can do but ask the Manhattan DA to testify.
Congressman Jordan is apparently incapable of learning anything. In April 2023, Jordan held his own committee hearings in Manhattan as part of his efforts to intimidate and smear Bragg. The Manhattan DA humiliated him.
Alvin Bragg is never going to testify. Jim Jordan has no supervisory authority or legal means to compel Bragg to testify. The letter from Jordan was an embarrassing ploy to get the Ohio congressman to hold a fake hearing in June and claim that Bragg would not appear to testify.
Because Donald Trump has not been convicted, even if Bragg wanted to testify, he could not because Trump's case is still an ongoing legal matter.
Jordan is trying to abuse his authority as chairman of the Judiciary Committee to help Trump with his application. One thing Jordan definitely won't do is call Donald Trump to testify under oath, as Jordan tries to intervene in a criminal case for political gain.
