Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) led a group of Republicans on Thursday introducing legislation that would defund Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, flatly accusing him of “lawlessness” and leading a “political prosecution of former U.S. President Donald Trump.”
Biggs filed a pair of bills that take direct aim at Bragg’s office in a retaliatory move for indicting Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection to alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The first piece of legislation is named the “Accountability for Lawless Violence In Our Neighborhoods Act,” or “ALVIN Act.” If passed, it would prohibit Bragg’s office from receiving federal funding and would mandate that he repay any funds received after Jan. 1, 2022. The bill is co-sponsored by Reps. Mary Miller (R-IL), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Bob Good (R-VA).
The second bill is called the “No Federal Funds for Political Prosecutions Act.” It would stop any state or local law enforcement agency from using resources seized through asset forfeiture to prosecute a president, vice president, or candidate for president in a criminal case.
