The foundation filed two lawsuits on Monday in an effort to obtain records related to Bragg&#8217;s investigation into former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>These lawsuits were prompted by Bragg&#8217;s failure to comply with two Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests. The requests sought information regarding Bragg&#8217;s communications with the Justice Department, the White House, and any Democratic lawmakers involved in the prosecution of Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>Charges Against Trump and Suspected Communication<\/h3>\n<p>In April, Bragg and his office charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records. These charges are connected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-the-charges-brought-against-the-trump-organizations-cfo-part-of-a-witch-hunt-experts-weigh-in\/\" title=\"Are The Charges Brought Against The Trump Organization\u2019s CFO Part Of A Witch Hunt? Experts Weigh In\">hush-money payments made<\/a> to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. Trump has pleaded not guilty to these charges.<\/p>\n<p>The Heritage Foundation&#8217;s lawsuit alleges that Bragg&#8217;s suspected communication with the DOJ resulted in several House GOP committee investigations. The foundation raises concerns about potential coordination between Trump&#8217;s political opponents and the manipulation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">criminal justice system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Pro-Bono Assistance and Document Requests<\/h3>\n<p>In a second lawsuit, the Heritage Foundation claims that Bragg obtained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/manhattan-da-alvin-bragg-sued-by-heritage-foundation-to-release-trump-case-records-report\/\" title=\"Heritage Foundation sues Manhattan DA Bragg for Trump case records: Report\">pro-bono assistance<\/a> from major law firms. The foundation is seeking documents related to these firms and is asking the court to prevent Bragg&#8217;s team from seeking costs and fees for the request in question.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s Legal Maneuvers<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former President Trump is attempting to change the course of the case. His lawyers have filed a motion to transfer the case to federal court or to demand the recusal of acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan. They argue that the alleged crimes took place while Trump was in office.<\/p>\n<p>This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Heritage Foundation has sued Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, demanding records linked to the probe into ex-President Donald Trump.
