Former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. joined a group of attorneys and four former members of Congress on Monday in filing an amicus brief in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's lawsuit challenging a subpoena from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, which is probing Bragg's indictment of former President Donald Trump.
