Days after declaring that the jurors "have spoken" when they rendered a unanimous guilty verdict of all 34 counts of falsifying business records against Donald Trump, Bragg responded to .
Leslie Dubeck, counsel for Bragg, wrote in a letter that there is a willingness to appear.

But there is also a schedule snag to appear on June 13 and his office requested more specifics about the topics that would be discussed before he RSVPs.
"This Office is committed to voluntary cooperation," reads the letter, first posted by New York Times reporter Luke Broadwater.
She also appeared to entertain permitting an Assistant District Attorney (Matthew Colangelo) to testify as well.
But both would require an "agreed-upon date."
She added: "However, the proposed date that the Subcommittee selected without consulting the Office presents various scheduling conflicts.”
Moreover, Dubek appeared to infer that the invitation to come to D.C. appears to be too vague.
It reads: "In addition, the Committee's invitation has not made clear the scope of the proposed testimony..."
Last week, Jordan submitted letters to have Bragg and his Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo to appear before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
Colangelo once served in the Biden administration’s Department of Justice and left to work for New York Attorney General Letitia James and later joined Bragg to prosecute the ex-president.
“This hearing will examine actions by state and local prosecutors to engage politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials, in particular the recent political prosecution of President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office,” states the language in the letters Jordan sent to Bragg and Colangelo.
Expecting to be rejected, Jordan said he would move to subpoena the law enforcers.
"We've also asked them to come and in front of the Select Committee on the Weaponization of Government, because that's what we think this is, this lawfare operation, what they did to President Trump up there in New York," Jordan told podcast host Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
Jordan assumed, "They're going to say no."
"And if they do, then we will look to use the compulsory, the subpoena process to get them in front of the Committee and answer questions," he added.
