Missouri AG Accuses DOJ of Coordinating 'Witch Hunt' Against Trump in Explosive FOIA Request

Branding Trump prosecutions as a ‘witch hunt’, Republican state attorney general in Missouri Andrew Bailey has just requested documents from the Biden Justice Department related to any communications with prosecutors involved in the indictments of former President Donald Trump.

NOTE: He filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking records of interactions between the DOJ and prosecutors such as those from Manhattan, New York, and Fulton County, Georgia.

NOTE: Bailey alleges that there was coordination between the DOJ and these prosecutors in the investigations of Trump.

NOTE: He cites Matthew Colangelo's transition from the DOJ to the Manhattan DA's office as evidence.

NOTE: The ongoing criminal trial against Trump, led by the Manhattan DA, entered its 14th day of witness testimony.

NOTE: Additionally, Bailey points out Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's collaboration with NY Attorney General Letitia James in civil litigation against Trump, suggesting that Bragg campaigned on a promise to target Trump and focused on this probe after his election.

He wrote on X, “I am demanding the DOJ turn over communications relating to the illicit prosecutions of President Trump.

“This includes communications between the DOJ and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, New York AG Leticia James, and Fulton County DA Fani Willis.

“Thanks to evidence that has come to light, my office has reason to believe Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice is the headquarters of the illicit prosecutions against President Trump.

“The investigations and subsequent prosecutions of former President Donald J. Trump appear to have been conducted in coordination with the United States Department of Justice.

“This is demonstrated by the move of the third-highest ranking member of the Department of Justice, Matthew Colangelo, to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in order to prosecute President Trump in December 2022.

“In addition, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg worked alongside New York Attorney General Letitia James in pursuing civil litigation against former President Trump, using that experience as a springboard from which to campaign for his current position.

“During that campaign, Bragg promised ‘if elected, [he] would go after Trump.’ Once he won election, he pledged ‘to personally focus on the high-profile probe into former President Donald Trump’s business practices.’
“Given the timing (Bragg charged Trump only after he declared his candidacy for President), the weakness of the charges, and the charges keeping Trump off the campaign trail, there is substantial reason to suspect @POTUS has coordinated with Bragg and others to prosecute Trump.

“Missourians have the right to know to what extent the prosecutions of a prominent presidential candidate are being coordinated by the federal government, which is currently run by President Trump’s principal political opponent.

“That’s why we’re demanding the DOJ turn over documents that we believe will expose these political prosecutions for what they are: a witch hunt.”
