Federal Judge Orders Former Prosecutor to Testify in House GOP Subpoena Case.

A judge appointed by former President Donald Trump has ruled that former Manhattan special prosecutor Mark Pomerantz must appear for a deposition requested by House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office had filed a lawsuit to block the subpoena, calling Jordan’s move a “transparent campaign to intimidate” his office. The judge denied the request for a temporary restraining order, stating that the subpoena was issued with a “valid legislative purpose” in connection with the “broad” and “indispensable” congressional power to “conduct investigations.”
