The Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office responded to House Republicans' demands for documents and testimony related to his investigation of former President Donald Trump, now before a grand jury.

"We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law," a spokesperson for Bragg said in a statement to Insider on Monday. 

"In every prosecution, we follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work," the spokesperson continued. 

The response came after three top Republicans — Reps. Jim Jordan, James Comer, and Bryan Steil — sent a letter to the DA's office earlier Monday, requesting that Bragg, who is a Democrat, turn over information to Congress about his probe of Trump's role in a hush-money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
