A federal judge has denied Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's request to block a congressional subpoena for a former prosecutor in Bragg's office who investigated former Pres. Trump.
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil on Wednesday declined to enjoin the subpoena for testimony about Trump's indictment, clearing the way for Mark Pomerantz to be interviewed privately Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Jim Jordan, speaks during a House Select Subcommittee hearing on the Coronavirus pandemic investigation of the origins of COVID-19, Apr. 18, 2023, in Washington.The subpoena seeking testimony from Pomerantz is the first to be issued by the Republican-controlled committee. Bragg has sued the GOP chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan, over the congressional probe, calling it a "transparent campaign to intimidate and attack" the office.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg speaks to reporters during a news conference at police headquarters, Apr. 18, 2023, in New York.Bragg's office immediately said it was seeking a stay of the judge's decision. "In our federalist system, elected state and federal actors sometimes engage in political dogfights," Vyskocil said in her ruling. "The Court does not endorse either side's agenda. The sole question before the Court at this time is whether Bragg has a legal basis to quash a congressional subpoena that was issued with a valid legislative purpose. He does not."
