A trio of Republican chairs in the chamber requested testimony from Bragg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election,\u201d House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) wrote in a letter to Bragg on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump also faces a slew of other investigations at both the federal and state level, which Jones argued would more likely alter the former president\u2019s legacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump is also being investigated in Georgia for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, and a special grand jury recommended perjury charges against multiple people in the probe, according to a partial and redacted report from the special grand jury released last month. He also faces a Department of Justice probe into his actions on Jan. 6 and his handling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cA charge like this \u2014 a porn star payoff seven years ago, somehow tied to the election but not really \u2014 it doesn\u2019t seem like the right way to go,\u201d Jones said. \u201cHistory is not going to judge Donald Trump based on Stormy Daniels. They\u2019re going to judge him based on the election, going to judge him based on the coup attempt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones finished by saying if he were Bragg, he would wait for potential charges from the Georgia probe to come forward before pursuing Trump in his investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would wait for Georgia to go first,\u201d Jones said. \u201c(In) Georgia, you have the president calling in trying to change an election.
