A former Manhattan DA’s office prosecutor refused to answer questions about ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg’s 34-count felony indictment of Donald Trump after he was subpoenaed to appear by JudiciaryGOP.
Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from the prosecutor’s office in February 2022 after District Attorney Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus Vance, didn’t pursue the charges that were then finally filed earlier this year by Bragg, declined to answer any questions about the Trump investigation on Friday.
Jordan followed up with a subpoena in early April, calling on Pomerantz to appear for a deposition, noting that Pomerantz “led the investigation” into Trump’s finances “before resigning in protest” after Bragg’s “initial reluctance to move forward with charges” against the former president. Trump and his legal team traveled to New York City in early April for his arraignment on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, before which he was processed into the system. Trump has pleaded not guilty, denied any wrongdoing, and decried Bragg’s prosecution as a political witch hunt.
Rep. Darrell Issa told reporters Friday that Pomerantz “has answered no questions” and characterized the uncooperative witness as “taking the Fifth."

GOP lawmaker: Former Trump prosecutor declines to provide details on hush-money investigationA Republican lawmaker says the ex-prosecutor who once oversaw Manhattan’s yearslong investigation of former President Donald Trump repeatedly declined to substantively answer questions at a closed-door meeting of the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Darrell Issa says Mark Pomerantz, the former prosecutor, repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment that protects people from providing self-incriminating testimony. Pomerantz left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office after disagreements. He was subpoenaed by the Republican-controlled House committee. The panel, chaired by Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, is probing how Bragg handled Trump’s historic indictment. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a scheme to bury allegations of extramarital affairs.
