Washington – Today, Congressman Lance Gooden (R-Texas) has raised serious concerns regarding the hiring of Matthew Colangelo by the New York Attorney General's Office, orchestrated by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Congressman Gooden has demanded transparency and accountability from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and New York Attorney General Alvin Bragg in light of recent revelations about the politically motivated prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

In a statement, Congressman Gooden emphasized the need for transparency by stating, "This isn’t just a questionable hiring, this is a Democrat blueprint for attempting to sabotage a political opponent." He further criticized the decision to bring in Colangelo, describing him as a "known political hitman" and highlighting the suspicious nature of his appointment. Gooden expressed concerns about potential manipulation and urged Americans to be vigilant against what he perceives as a charade in the legal proceedings.

Highlighting Colangelo's past as a Democrat operative and his history of aggressive litigation against conservative interests, Congressman Gooden underlined a pattern of bias and partisanship that, in his view, cannot be overlooked. He stated, "Colangelo’s past as a hardcore Democrat operative and his aggressive litigation against conservative interests under the Obama administration underscore a disturbing pattern of bias and partisanship that cannot be ignored."

Regarding the hiring of Colangelo, Congressman Gooden issued a strong statement, declaring, "This hiring is a declaration of war against the American judicial system." He expressed deep concern about what he perceives as an unprecedented level of corruption and political persecution orchestrated by what he referred to as the Democrats' "deep state actors." Gooden called for immediate action to expose and address what he described as a disgraceful situation.
