Coming to you from TheHagmanReport.com studio located in the Keystone state.

Birthplace of a mighty nation gets your host, Doug Hagman.

Let's bring you said earlier that you are only hearing about Donald Trump from one side and not the other.

But I want to tell you that that's very, very intentional because they know that they are using taxpayer money to defend a private citizen in his own criminal investigation and that that is an abuse of their power.

The day before this investigation began, public reporting revealed that Donald Trump and his legal team directed House Republicans to initiate an investigation into Alvin Bragg.

And they are now scrambling to justify this investigation with after the fact explanations, including the preposterous explanation that he spent $5,000 of federal money on this year's long investigation.

They have spent many multiples of that amount of money on this hearing alone in order to hold it in Manhattan.

Now I've asked the chairman and other members of House leadership to tell the American public what kind of collusion they have been doing with Donald Trump to use the power of this committee and of this Congress to interfere in this prosecution.

They have thus far refused. But we will learn about that collusion.

Because the Manhattan District Attorney has a lawsuit against the chairman and they will be able to compel disclosure of the communication and coordination as part of that lawsuit.

But that's why we are here and that's what we want to emphasize to you.

And we're not insulting you. Your experiences are devastating.

But the problem is that this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power that they are going around talking incessantly outside of this hearing about Donald Trump.

And the purpose of this hearing is to cover up for what they know to be an inappropriate investigation.

Now I look forward. Many of you are not right now because I only have 20 seconds. I'm sorry. But I do.

Don't insult my intelligence.

Hang on to the gentleman's time.

You're trying to insult me like I'm not aware of what's going on.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'll follow your way of what's going on here.

Gentlemen will suspend.
