It appears the public will be learning more details regarding New York’s decision to indict former President Donald Trump over the Stormy Daniels matter. Despite Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s previous efforts to stop House Republicans from speaking with his predecessor, former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, it appears he is reading the room on this issue and has struck an agreement with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
ABC News reported that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to dismiss his appeal of a ruling that allowed a subpoena for testimony about the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump by the Republican-led committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan. The agreement allows House Republicans to depose former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz next month with a counsel from the district attorney’s office present.
“Our successful stay of this subpoena blocked the immediate deposition and afforded us the time necessary to coordinate with the House Judiciary Committee on an agreement that protects the District Attorney’s privileges and interests. We are pleased with this resolution, which ensures any questioning of our former employee will take place in the presence of our General Counsel on a reasonable, agreed upon timeframe,” a spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney told ABC News.
Shortly before Pomerantz was scheduled to be deposed by the House Judiciary Committee as part of an investigation into the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump by the Republican-led committee chaired by Rep. Jordan, a federal appeals court issued an administrative stay on Thursday, temporarily blocking the deposition. Pomerantz, who resigned from Bragg’s office in 2022 due to disagreement over pursuing a case against Trump, had previously expressed the belief that legal standards should apply equally to everyone, regardless of their status.

Ron, I think that the courts had a shiver run down their backs as in the American people have had enough. I HOPE. I WOULD TOO SEE THEM SO SCARED THAT THEY WOULD GET A WET LEG. If you know what I mean.
Someone explain to me WHY Congress needs to EXPLAIN to the SCOTUS Or any Federal Court why they are holding hearings and subpoenaing witnesses. Since when have the Courts become the SUPREME Branch of Government? I thought the founders limited the court's jurisdiction severely with the intention that they should be the LEAST POWERFUL of the three branches of government.
Fear is the key WORD HERE! Unless these Elected officials have a real Health FEAR OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE we will not have worthwhile Representation!!
The only way the government will ever fear the people is if we hang a few of them in the public squares of our nation. Unless we hold them personally accountable for their actions they will never fear the people. Whenever a principal of a school denies a student or parent their civil rights they need to be fired... not given a paid attorney to defend their illegal actions.
Agree 100%
