America First Legal is suing the Department of Justice, demanding the immediate release of records relating to “credible allegations” of “improper collusion by the Biden White House and Department of Justice (DOJ) in the sham political show trial of President Trump conducted by Alvin Bragg, the New York County District Attorney’s Office, and Judge Juan Merchan.”
Allegations of collusion between the Biden administration and Bragg’s office primarily center on Matthew Colangelo, a senior official in the Biden DOJ who later joined Bragg’s team as a prosecutor. Before taking a role as a prosecutor with Bragg’s office, Colangelo held the third most senior position in the entire Department of Justice.
“Today, AFL sued the DOJ to compel the immediate release of previously requested records regarding Matthew Colangelo, a key figure in the partisan and politically-motivated prosecution of President Trump in Manhattan,” America First Legal wrote in a press release.
Beyond the lawsuit, the legal organization has submitted several Freedom of Information Act Requests seeking records of communications related to Colangelo’s recruitment. They are requesting exchanges involving Colangelo and the New York County District Attorney’s Office, Special Counsel Jack Smith, Jay Bratt, David Harbach, and the organization known as “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington” (CREW).
A second request is seeking communications between Matt Klapper and the New York County District Attorney’s Office, Special Counsel Smith, Bratt, Harbach, Colangelo, the Public Integrity Section of the DOJ, and CREW. Klapper currently serves as Attorney General Merrick Garland’s chief of staff.
“These critical records will expose the relationship between Colangelo, Klapper, the Biden White House, Special Counsel Smith, and the New York County District Attorney in the sham prosecution of President Trump,” America First Legal’s press release continued.

“The ‘Russian collusion’ hoax turned out to be a deep state operation to interfere in the 2016 election and then to cripple the duly elected President of the United States. The American people have a right to know the extent to which the deep state is also part of the New York show trial circus and the leftist election interference program. AFL will keep fighting to uncover the truth,” the legal organization continued.
Bragg’s team includes members with ties to Democrat causes. Bragg campaigned on prosecuting Trump, and another member, Susan Hoffinger, has made donations to left-wing causes and political figures.
