Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg last week sued Representative Jim Jordan to block a subpoena for testimony from Mark Pomerantz
for testimony from Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor who once led the office’s multi-year investigation of Trump.A hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT in federal court in Manhattan before U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil. Bragg has called the subpoena an unconstitutional “incursion” into a state criminal case, and payback for charging Trump in the first indictment of a former U.S. president.
The subpoena is part of a plan to “intimidate, harass, retaliate, and hold ‘accountable’ District Attorney Bragg for enforcing New York’s criminal law against a then-New Yorker, Mr. Trump,” Bragg’s lawyers said in a Tuesday filing. Jordan countered that lawmakers needed Pomerantz’s testimony, now scheduled for Thursday, as they weigh legislation to let presidents move state criminal actions to federal court. He said the subpoena was covered by constitutional protection for “speech or debate” in Congress.
Pomerantz urged Vyskocil to block the subpoena and said he played no role in Bragg’s decision to charge Trump.
