House interview with ex-Trump prosecutor halted by appeals court.

A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked House Republicans from questioning former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz about the criminal case against ex-President Donald Trump. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay late Wednesday, hours after a lower court judge ruled there was no legal basis to block the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena to Pomerantz. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office appealed to the 2nd Circuit hours after U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil rejected his request for a temporary restraining order, ruling Wednesday that Jordan had a valid legislative purpose in issuing the subpoena.
