Former President Trump was right all along. He called out the corruption from a mile away.
And now Donald Trump’s been exonerated after the way the DNC was caught colluding with Biden’s DOJ.
Backroom deals are nothing new to politics, but unfortunately they are getting all too common in Washington, D.C. these days. Over the past few years, we’ve seen several congress-members step down after a short stint because they couldn’t put up with the corruption.
Donald Trump has been vocal about this corruption, and many believe this is why he is hated with a passion by the political class who don’t want the new status quo of unethical politics to go away.
On his part, Donald Trump has said that he believes behind all the legal attacks being thrown his way is a core desire of the political class to kick him to the curb at all costs. They don’t want him anywhere close to getting the chance for a second term in the White House.
He’s even gone so far as to say that the Democrat Party is colluding with the Biden administration on much of the indictment nonsense he’s been forced to deal with. Well the latest news just gave Donald Trump more ammo to support his claims.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveal that Matthew Colangelo, the lead prosecutor in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump, received significant financial support from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) back in 2018.
Reports say Matthew Colangelo received $12,000 from the DNC for "political consulting" in 2018.
Colangelo delivered the opening statement for the prosecution in the Trump hush money case.
Yet Trump can't talk about this due to his unconstitutional gag order.

Colangelo, who previously served as acting associate attorney general under President Joe Biden and spent two years in the Department of Justice (DOJ), joined Bragg’s team as senior counsel in December 2022. FEC records indicate that he received a total of $12,000 from the DNC in 2018 for “political consulting,” with payments of $6,000 each made on Jan. 31 of that year.
Trump’s ability to discuss Colangelo is restricted by a gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan, which prohibits the former president from commenting on prosecutors involved in the case aside from Bragg.
Colangelo’s appointment coincided with Bragg’s ongoing investigation into Trump’s alleged $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an alleged affair. He presented the prosecution’s opening statements in April, asserting that Trump had falsified business documents related to the payment as part of a broader scheme to “subvert the 2016 election.”
Colangelo emphasized it was straightforward election fraud.
Trump consistently frames the case as “election interference,” labeling it a “Biden witch hunt” and the “Biden Case.”
House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday regarding Colangelo, seeking documentation and communications from his time at the DOJ. Jordan specifically requested personnel files regarding Colangelo’s hiring, tenure, and departure from the DOJ, as well as any records related to Trump or his organization.
“Bragg is engaged in one such politicized prosecution, which is being led in part by Matthew B. Colangelo, a former senior Justice Department official. Accordingly, given the perception that the Justice Department is assisting in Bragg’s politicized prosecution, we write to request information and documents related to Mr. Colangelo’s employment,” Jordan outlined.
During his tenure at the New York District Attorney’s office, Colangelo spearheaded the investigation into the Trump Foundation, resulting in its dissolution, and led the inquiry that evolved into Trump’s civil fraud case, as reported by The New York Times.
Legal experts, so far, have been critical of Alvin Bragg’s prosecutory approach, saying it lacks evidence that would’ve warranted even bringing the case at all under normal circumstances.
But, of course, these aren’t normal circumstances at all. This is former President Donald Trump who these rogue “justice” officials will do anything to attack and demonize.
At the end of the day though, these legal attack plans just seem to be backfiring as Donald Trump is as strong as ever in the polls as he leads incumbent President Joe Biden in the vast majority of national surveys.
Stay tuned to the DC Daily Journal.
