Joe Biden's former No. 3 official at the Department of Justice left D.C. to help go after President Trump in New York," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Axios.
Zeldin said federal prosecutors who want to handle more cases go to Manhattan for the bigger caseload there. Colangelo joined the Manhattan office in December 2020.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) joined Cotton in zinging Colangelo, telling Axios that Biden "stacked" the Justice Department with "weak 'defund the police' prosecutors" who are now working for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) accused Colangelo of being "part of the far left's witch hunt to wrongfully prosecute President Trump."
