John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas, questioned the rationale behind the House Republicans&#8217; latest move to investigate the never-ending \u201cwitch hunt\u201d\u00a0by the Democrats against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>The previous Saturday, the Republican House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, instructed GOP-led committees to probe Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg\u2019s \u201coutrageous abuse of power\u201d\u00a0in \u201cpursuing political vengeance against President Trump.\u201d\u00a0Bragg has campaigned on a\u00a0platform to prosecute Trump using funds provided by leftist financier George Soros.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used\u00a0to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions,\u201d McCarthy said.<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn, however, expressed confusion at McCarthy\u2019s announcement, saying to Politico: \u201cThere\u2019s more than enough to do. I would hope they would stick to the agenda they ran on when they got elected to the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bragg\u2019s office\u00a0is reportedly close to bringing an indictment of Trump that would result in the first arrest of a former president in American history. The Manhattan prosecutor alleges that Trump mischaracterized payments to Stormy Daniels, a porn performer.<\/p>\n<p>The case was revived after Democrats failed to secure Trump\u2019s criminal conviction, which was then the top item on their policy agenda. When Bragg was a U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York and Trump was still in the White House, Bragg\u2019s team looked into the case and decided it was too weak to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn also compared the ongoing war in Eastern Europe to World War II during his response to criticism of the United States&#8217; involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. \u201cStop risking our security and wasting our money on stupid wars that have nothing to do with us,\u201d wrote Federalist CEO Sean Davis.<\/p>\n<p>Last summer, Cornyn was jeered at his home state\u2019s GOP convention after surrendering Americans\u2019 rights to Democrats on gun control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Republican Sen.
