Bragg's suit against him in federal court even cites the "language" of the NY penal code that Gymsuit is violating.
From pg 3 of the suit -

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
________________________________________________________________
ALVIN L. BRAGG, JR., in his official capacity as District Attorney for New York County,
Plaintiff,
v. JIM JORDAN, in his official capacity as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary;
COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES; and MARK F. POMERANTZ,
Defendants.

4. The charges the District Attorney filed against Mr. Trump were approved by citizens of New York. They did their civic duty as members of a grand jury pursuant to the federal Constitution and laws of the State of New York. Like any other defendant, Mr. Trump is entitled to challenge these charges in court. He can avail himself of all the processes and protections that New York States robust criminal procedure affords. 5. But rather than allowing the criminal process to proceed in the ordinary course, Chairman Jordan and the Committee are participating in a campaign of intimidation, retaliation, and obstruction. Mr. Trump in particular has threatened New York officials with violent and racist vitriol.
