A Manhattan prosecutor heading up the �hush money� case against former
President Donald Trump was a political consultant for the Democratic
National Committee (DNC) in 2018 � and once donated to Barack Obama.

The DNC paid Matthew Colangelo $12,000 in January 2018 for �political
consulting,� Federal Election Commission filings show, and the prosecutor
also donated $400 to Obama�s first presidential campaign in 2008.

Colangelo, formerly the third-ranking official in President Biden�s
Justice Department, joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg�s
office in December 2022 as senior counsel in the criminal case against
Trump.

The prosecutor�s paid work for the DNC were first reported by Fox News
Digital.

Bragg became the first of several prosecutors to indict the former
president for alleged election interference in March 2023, charging Trump
with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records about the �hush
money.�

The six-figure payments were allegedly concocted with Trump�s ex-legal
fixer, Michael Cohen, to cover up past affairs the then-presidential
candidate had with porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen
McDougal.

During opening arguments last month, Colangelo told jurors that Trump and
Cohen participated in a �criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election,� �
even though the case is not federal and the payments to reimburse Cohen
weren�t made until after Trump took office in January 2017.

House Republican conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) thundered
that the filings were more evidence of a politically motivated prosecution
against Trump.

�I just uncovered that the Far Left NYC prosecutor sent from Biden�s DOJ
to arrest President Trump was PAID BY THE DNC,� Stefanik posted on X.
�This is ILLEGAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE.�

Neither the DNC nor Bragg�s office immediately responded to requests for
comment.

Colangelo previously served in the Obama administration as deputy director
of the president�s National Economic Council, chief of staff at the
Department of Labor and deputy assistant attorney general in the DOJ�s
Civil Rights Division.

In April 2017, Colangelo also collaborated on an op-ed with then-DNC chair
Tom Perez that ripped Trump for tanking efforts to automatically enroll
private-sector workers in local government retirement plans.

The piece also accused Senate Republicans of �blowing up two centuries of
precedent to ram through� Neil Gorsuch�s confirmation to the Supreme Court
in April 2017.

Around the same time, Colangelo authored another op-ed and hosted a forum
at Georgetown University knocking the Trump administration�s decision to
roll back other Obama-era regulations � including a reversal of Title IX
discrimination protections for students based on gender identity.

The Biden administration has since brought that Title IX rule back.

Colangelo went on to serve in the New York State Attorney General�s
office, assisting on an investigation of the Trump Foundation and signing
on to a lawsuit against Trump�s Commerce Department that opposed adding
citizenship questions to the US Census in 2020.

He later briefly ascended to the role of acting associate attorney general
under Biden before being appointed principal deputy associate attorney.

Bragg�s office announced in December 2022 that Colangelo was hired to
handle �sensitive and high-profile white-collar investigations,� among
other duties.

Last week, House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan demanded records
from Colangelo�s time at the Justice Department.

�Since last year, popularly elected prosecutors � who campaigned for
office on the promise of prosecuting President Trump � engaged in an
unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former
President of the United States and current leading candidate for that
office,� Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick
Garland.

??�That a former senior Biden Justice Department official is now leading
the prosecution of President Biden�s chief political rival only adds to
the perception that the Biden Justice Department is politicized and
weaponized.�
