Matthew Colangelo, one of the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ)’s top attorneys, who forewent a white-shoe law firm career to instead work for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, received at least $12,000 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for “consulting” services in 2018. The former Biden government attorney delivered opening remarks in former President Donald J. Trump‘s Manhattan-based hush money trial and has handled a portion of the questioning during witness testimony.
The National Pulse reported last week that Colangelo has been linked to partisan lawfare campaigns against conservative political groups and Republican lawmakers as far back as 2011. House Republicans are currently investigating Colangelo over his past work and possible ongoing communications with the Biden Justice Department that could conflict with his prosecution of Trump.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) data indicates the DNC paid Colangelo in two $6,000 installments on January 31, 2018. The distributions were reported as fees for “Political Consulting.” At the time of the payments, Colangelo had yet to join the Justice Department and was serving as the deputy assistant attorney general for social justice under then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Colangelo, interestingly, succeeded Alvin Bragg in the role with the New York AG‘s office when Bragg was promoted to chief deputy attorney general.
After Schneiderman was forced to resign as New York’s Attorney General following sexual assault allegations, Colangelo continued to serve under his successor, Barbara Underwood. It was with Underwood and her successor, Letitia James, that Colangelo began working on several investigations into then-President Donald Trump. On the day Joe Biden was sworn in as President, Colangelo moved to the U.S. Department of Justice as acting associate attorney general.
