Alvin Bragg and House Republicans struck a deal Friday that allows the Judiciary Committee to question an ex-prosecutor about the Manhattan district attorney’s case against former President T…
Under the agreement, the committee will be able to interrogate former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz — who that detailed Bragg’s investigation into Trump — under oath at a later date than originally scheduled.
Bragg’s office said the deal preserves the district attorney’s “privileges and interests” in his ongoing prosecution. The committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan , had subpoenaed Pomerantz in March to investigate if and how federal funds were used in the investigation into Trump by Bragg’s office.“We are pleased with this resolution, which ensures any questioning of our former employee will take place in the presence of our General Counsel on a reasonable, agreed upon timeframe. We are gratified that the Second Circuit’s ruling provided us with the opportunity to successfully resolve this dispute.
In the aftermath of Trump’s indictment, the committee argued that they had a right to investigate whether ex-presidents are being subjected to “politically motivated state investigations and prosecutions.”
