A New Fighter for Congress

J. P. Cooney, once a key aide to the special prosecutor who charged former President Trump twice, is set to announce his bid for a House seat in Virginia. He says he will be the first Democrat with real courtroom experience against Trump. Cooney left his federal job in January after Trump removed all prosecutors linked to the special case. He believes that the current Congress has failed to check presidential overreach, and he wants to change that.The spark for his run came after a controversial incident in Minneapolis involving the death of Alex Pretti at federal agents’ hands. Cooney felt that Americans must speak up when officials spread false claims about people. He expects criticism from Republicans who will question his impartiality as a former federal prosecutor. Cooney is ready to face those attacks and argue that he can bring truth and accountability to Washington.
