Colangelo did not communicate with Bragg's office while at DOJ, department says

The Department of Justice is disputing claims that one of its former senior officials coordinated with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to bring felony charges against former President Donald Trump.

A DOJ spokesman said Tuesday in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner that it had no records of communication between Alvin Bragg’s office and Matthew Colangelo, who held a senior position at the DOJ until he joined Bragg’s team in December 2022.
