GOP AG launches new probe into communications from DOJ and Trump prosecutors
FIRST ON FOX: A Republican state attorney general is probing the Biden Justice Department for documents related to any communications with prosecutors connected to the indictments of former President Donald Trump.
In a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed Thursday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey asked the DOJ to hand over “activity and/or communications between Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith or Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis related to the investigation or prosecution” of the former president.
“The investigations and subsequent prosecutions of former President Donald J. Trump appear to have been conducted in coordination with the United States Department of Justice,” Bailey alleges, adding that he believes that allegation is demonstrated in part by the move of the third-highest ranking DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo, to the Manhattan DA’s office to help prosecute the criminal case, N.Y. v. Trump.
That unprecedented criminal trial of the former president and presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election entered its 14th day of witness testimony on Thursday.

In addition, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg worked alongside New York Attorney General Letitia James in pursuing civil litigation against Trump, using that experience as a springboard from which to campaign for his current position, Bailey notes.
“During that campaign, Bragg promised ‘if elected, [he] would go after Trump.’ Once he won election, he pledged ‘to personally focus on the high-profile probe into former President Donald Trump’s business practices,’” Bailey states.

Bailey argues that Bragg’s decision to bring the prosecution “despite its transparent weakness has nonetheless had the effect of keeping former President Trump off the campaign trail, which President Biden has bragged about.”
He cites a post on X from the official Biden-Harris campaign on April 24, which says, “While Trump is stuck in court, President Biden is keeping a very robust schedule of campaign events. He’s been to Pennsylvania to talk about the economy, Virginia to talk about clean energy, and Florida to talk about abortion.”

“Given the timing (Bragg charged Trump only after Trump declared his candidacy for President), the transparent weakness of the charges, and the effect the charges have in keeping Trump off the campaign trail, there is substantial reason to suspect the Biden administration has coordinated with Bragg and others to bring prosecutions against Trump,” Bailey claims.
Bailey asked for all communications including documents, calendar appointments, meeting minutes and agendas related to Colangelo’s move to Bragg’s office. He also asked for all similar communications between DOJ and the offices of Bragg, New York Attorney General Leticia James and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The Department of Justice declined to comment.

Construction crews are making way for the new home of the Detroit City Football Club after demolishing the old Southwest Detroit Hospital.
This marks a major step for the new 15,000-seat stadium and new attraction in Corktown.
Construction crews will be removing demolition debris and preparing the land for phase 1 of AlumniFi Field, which DCFC co-owner Sean Mann says will be more than just a stadium.
“It’s not lost on me the significance of being able to remove a significant piece of blight,” said Mann.
It’s the start of turning the leveled Southwest Detroit Hospital site into something Mann says will complement the growth already happening in Corktown and Mexicantown.
“Our vision, it wasn’t just a stadium isolated on an island, but it’s also how are we bringing retail, how are we bringing residential, that fits into the neighborhood 365 days per year and not just when we have matches,” he said, adding that they’ll be using the 15,000-seat stadium for concerts and other sporting events.
“We’ll have the stadium going, and then concurrently, as part of the phase, is a parking deck wrapped with affordable housing. So that’s all here, part of Phase One taking place here on the site.”
Mann says they chose Barton Malow as their general contractor, given its history of stadium projects such as Little Caesars Arena and the expansion at Michigan Stadium.
“Respected nationwide industry leader based here in Southeast Michigan, with all kinds of experience, but certainly stadium experience,” he said.
The stadium’s completion is still expected by the 2027 season.
Phase 1 will officially kick off with a groundbreaking in mid-May, when the team will share more details about the construction and completion timeline.
