DA Alvin Bragg's staffer hangs up on 'bulls—t' congressional phone call
[NYPOST] Rude reps for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told a House Judiciary staffer to "stop calling us with this bulls—t" after he made multiple attempts to get in touch by phone.

The Judiciary Committee staffer who called Bragg’s office at noon on Wednesday was promptly hung up on after he identified himself to a woman who answered the phone, a person familiar with the call told The Post.

When the staffer called back a second time and identified himself, a second woman bluntly told him, "Your committee has no jurisdiction over us. You’re wrong. Stop calling us with this bulls—t," the insider said.

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen any government entity respond to Congress in that manner. It’s quite embarrassing, but I don’t think anyone is surprised based on how partisan that office has become," the tipster said.

On Thursday, Bragg responded to an inquiry from the committee requesting documents and testimony on an indictment he is preparing against former President Trump.

While many expected it to come this week, his office has so far delayed brining charges.

In a five-page response, Bragg’s general counsel Leslie Dubeck called the GOP probe "an unprecedented inquiry into a pending local prosecution" and refused to comply — but left the door open to continue discussions.

#1 The Cohen disintegration could be called blood in the water, but it is more of a wet fart in a bathtub of an egg drop soup consistency.

#2 I believe I heard on the news that someone, a senior lawyer from the DoJ had recently traveled to Bragg's Manhattan office to assist his efforts against Trump.

Have not been able to verify.
