A federal judge has denied Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s attempt to block House Republicans from questioning a former prosecutor about the DA office’s investigation of former president Donald Trump.
District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump appointee, said Mark Pomerantz, who left the DA’s office last year and wrote a book on the Trump probe, must appear before the House Judiciary Committee for a deposition. “The subpoena was issued with a ‘valid legislative purpose’ in connection with the ‘broad’ and ‘indispensable’ congressional power to ‘conduct investigations,’” Vyskocil wrote.
“It is not the role of the federal judiciary to dictate what legislation Congress may consider or how it should conduct its deliberations in that connection.” Bragg’s counsel filed a notice of appeal moments after Vyskocil’s ruling was issued on Wednesday evening. Should an appeal fail, the committee will question Pomerantz on Thursday as part of Republicans’ all-out attack on Bragg’s felony case against Trump related to a hush-money payment allegedly made to a porn star.
