WASHINGTON (AP) — A key prosecutor on the labeled paperwork case in opposition to President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Modification proper in opposition to self-incrimination throughout a congressional interview Wednesday, declining to reply questions due to concern concerning the Trump administration’s willingness to “weaponize the machinery of government” in opposition to perceived adversaries, a spokesman stated.

Jay Bratt had been subpoenaed to seem earlier than the Republican-led Home Judiciary Committee for a closed-door interview however didn’t reply substantive questions due to his Fifth Modification constitutional proper to stay silent.

Bratt spent greater than three many years on the Justice Division earlier than retiring in January, simply weeks earlier than President Donald Trump took workplace. He was a key nationwide safety prosecutor on particular counsel Jack Smith’s crew, which in 2023 charged Trump with illegally hoarding labeled paperwork at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida and with obstructing the federal government’s efforts to get better them.

“He did not choose to investigate Mar-a-Lago; rather, the facts and evidence of a serious breach of law and national security led him there,” stated Peter Carr, a spokesman for Justice Connection, a community of Justice Division alumni.

“This administration and its proxies have made no effort to hide their willingness to weaponize the machinery of government against those they perceive as political enemies,” Carr added. “That should alarm every American who believes in the rule of law. In light of these undeniable and deeply troubling circumstances, Mr. Bratt had no choice but to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.”

The assertion describes Bratt as somebody who spent his profession in public service “protecting our nation from some of the gravest national security threats—including spies, murderers, and other criminal actors—always without fear or favor.”

A federal choose in Florida dismissed the prosecution final 12 months after concluding that Smith had been illegally appointed to the particular counsel position. The Justice Division’s enchantment of that call was pending on the time of Trump’s presidential win in November, at which level Smith’s crew deserted that case and a separate prosecution charging Trump with plotting to overturn the outcomes of the 2020 election.

Since taking workplace, Trump has engaged in a far-reaching retribution marketing campaign in opposition to officers he regards as adversaries.

His administration has issued govt orders aimed toward punishing main regulation companies, together with some with present or previous associations with prosecutors who beforehand investigated him. The Justice Division, in the meantime, has fired legal professionals who served on Smith’s crew and in addition established a “weaponization working group” aimed toward reviewing actions taken throughout the Biden administration. That group is led by Ed Martin, whose nomination to be the highest federal prosecutor in Washington was pulled by the White Home final week.
