On Wednesday, a judge ruled that Jim Jordan can question Mark Pomerantz, the former Manhattan special prosecutor who helmed a criminal investigation of Trump
Bragg has said that Jordan demanded that his office provide “confidential documents from the District Attorney himself as well as his current and former employees and officials.” Bragg’s lawsuit contends that Congress — a federal body — doesn’t have the right to intervene under the U.S. Constitution. The legislative body, Bragg’s suit charges, “has no power to supervise state criminal prosecutions.
“Yet that is precisely what Chairman Jordan is trying to do. He and his allies have stated they want the District Attorney to come to Capitol Hill to ‘explain’ himself and to provide ‘a good argument” to Congress in support of his decision to investigate and prosecute Mr. Trump,” the suit argues. “And they have threatened that the House of Representatives will ‘hold Alvin Bragg… to account’ for indicting Mr. Trump.
“Now, Chairman Jordan has subpoenaed one of the District Attorney’s former Special Assistants to interrogate him about his official prosecutorial activities,” the suit alleges. “But subpoenaing a former line prosecutor to talk about an ongoing criminal prosecution and investigation is no less of an affront to state sovereignty than subpoenaing the District Attorney himself.
Lawyers for the committee have contended that Pomerantz waived this privilege when he published his book,, in early 2023. They pointed to Pomerantz’s many TV appearances, where he discussed the investigation, as undermining a privilege claim.
