Jay Bratt
Jay Bratt is a prominent attorney known for his role as a former special counsel prosecutor, particularly in the high-profile investigation regarding Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. As a top deputy to special counsel Jack Smith, Bratt played a crucial role in the legal proceedings that led to charges against Trump, including allegations of obstruction of justice. His expertise in federal criminal law and his involvement in politically sensitive cases have placed him in the spotlight, and he is expected to testify before the House judiciary committee as part of an inquiry into the politicization of the Justice Department's actions against Trump.
