Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) clashed with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) at a hearing on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

Moments after the hearing got underway on Thursday, Chairman Jordan called on Gaetz to question witnesses for five minutes. However, Gaetz offered a motion to subpoena Bragg and Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) objected to the motion.

"It's a little absurd because Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have already agreed to appear before the committee on July 12th," Nadler noted. "I don't know what this debate is about."

Jordan stepped in to ask Gaetz to withdraw his motion.

"Mr. Bragg and Mr. Colangelo have agreed to come on the 12th," Jordan observed. "If they don't show up on the 12th, they will be subpoenaed. I would ask the gentleman if he could withdraw the motion."

Gaetz, however, refused to withdraw the motion.

"I've made a motion to subpoena these people now, pursuant to the rules, and I want to vote on my motion, or I want someone to move to table it," the Florida Republican demanded.

After a Democrat moved to table the motion, Jordan scrambled to prevent a vote.

"It's not debatable," Gaetz insisted.

"This is crazy," someone could be heard saying.

"Committee will stand in recess," Jordan ordered.

Several minutes later, the committee was back in session, and Gaetz had a sudden change of heart.

"I will withdraw my motion," he conceded.
