Who is Matthew Colangelo? Manhattan’s DA hires new face to help with 'sensitive' investigations against Trump
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is strengthing his investigative team by hiring a top and highly experienced DOJ official to probe former president Donald Trump. Former high level DOJ official Matthew Colangelo has been hired after two other officials resigned early this year amid rumors that Bragg would not pursue a case decisively against the former president.
"He will help guide the most sensitive and high-profile white-collar investigations," said Bragg in a statement, according to Daily Mail. Colangelo will "promote confidence in the legal system by making clear that the same rules apply to everyone – no matter how powerful," Bragg said in a statement that invoked the nation's most famous defendant in a string of legal actions. Bragg's office has said its inquiry of Trump is "ongoing."
