Ex-prosecutor in Trump probe declines to answer House Judiciary Committee.

Former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz refused to answer questions at a deposition by the House Judiciary Committee about a criminal investigation of Donald Trump in which he once played a leading role. Pomerantz called the Judiciary Committee's demand for his testimony "an act of political theater."

Former Trump prosecutor silent on hush-money investigation, says GOP lawmaker.

Mark Pomerantz, the former prosecutor who oversaw Manhattan's investigation of former President Donald Trump, repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a closed-door deposition with the House Judiciary Committee. Republican lawmakers on the committee said they were not getting many answers from Pomerantz, who left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office after disagreements over the direction of the Trump investigation. Pomerantz was subpoenaed by the Republican-controlled House committee, which is probing how Bragg handled Trump's historic indictment.

"Trump inquiry dispute resolved between House GOP and Manhattan DA"

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has reached a deal with House Republicans, allowing former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to be questioned by the Judiciary Committee about the investigation into former President Trump. Pomerantz will be accompanied by a lawyer from Bragg’s office, and the questioning will take place at a later date than originally scheduled. The agreement resolves the legal battle between Bragg and the committee that escalated to a federal appeals court. Bragg charged Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, and the committee had subpoenaed Pomerantz to investigate if and how federal funds were used in the investigation.

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.
