House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Thursday subpoenaed a former Manhattan District Attorney’s Office prosecutor who had worked on the office’s investigation into former President Trump.
The move escalates a fledgling investigation into Bragg’s office that began shortly after Trump predicted his arrest in connection with the probe and comes as Jordan has said he is weighing a subpoena to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D).
The subpoena to Mark Pomerantz follows a letter asking him to speak with the committee about his resignation from the office after leading the investigation into Trump.
“Based on your unique role as a special assistant district attorney leading the investigation into President Trump’s finances, you are uniquely situated to provide information that is relevant and necessary to inform the Committee’s oversight and potential legislative reforms,” Jordan wrote in the letter.
He goes on to address a book penned by Pomerantz as well as television appearances made to discuss the case.
“As a result, you have no basis to decline to testify about matters before the Committee that you have already discussed in your book and/or on a prime-time television program with an audience in the millions, including on the basis of any purported duty of confidentiality or privilege interest,” Jordan added.
