SECTION 195.05
Obstructing governmental administration in the second degree


Penal (PEN) CHAPTER 40, PART 3, TITLE L, ARTICLE 195

========================================

§ 195.05 Obstructing governmental administration in the second degree.

A person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration when he
intentionally obstructs, impairs or perverts the administration of law
or other governmental function or prevents or attempts to prevent a
public servant from performing an official function, by means of
intimidation, physical force or interference, or by means of any
independently unlawful act, or by means of interfering, whether or not
physical force is involved, with radio, telephone, television or other
telecommunications systems owned or operated by the state, or a county,
city, town, village, fire district or emergency medical service or by
means of releasing a dangerous animal under circumstances evincing the
actor's intent that the animal obstruct governmental administration.

Obstructing governmental administration is a class A misdemeanor.

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 -

Case 1:23-cv-03032 Document 1 Filed 04/11/23 Page 1 of 50


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.

Case No. 23-cv-03032

Case 1:23-cv-03032 Document 1 Filed 04/11/23 Page 3 of 50

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 State’s 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.
