Former Trump Prosecutor Refuses to Answer GOP Questions on Hush-Money Investigation.

Former prosecutor Mark F. Pomerantz appeared before the House Judiciary Committee for a deposition but declined to answer many of its questions about the prosecution of former President Donald Trump on charges of falsifying business records, citing privilege and the confidentiality of the pending case. Pomerantz repeatedly cited New York law protecting the privacy of active investigations and said he had been threatened with possible prosecution for violating the secrecy of the grand jury process if he answered certain questions.
