.RepAndyBiggsAZ introduced two pieces of legislation targeting ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg, marking the latest form of retaliation by House Republicans in response to the criminal charges leveled against Donald Trump.

One of the bills Biggs introduced on Thursday seeks to revoke federal funding to Bragg’s office and would require the district attorney to repay all funds that were granted any time after Jan. 1, 2022. The Accountability for Lawless Violence In Our Neighborhoods Act, or the ALVIN Act, named after the district attorney, would prohibit federal funds from being allocated to the office in the future.

Biggs also introduced a measure that would prohibit state or local law enforcement agencies from taking funds or property that were seized through asset forfeiture and using them to investigate or prosecute the sitting president, vice president, or presidential candidate in a criminal case.
