House Republicans are not backing down in their pursuit of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg following the indictment against former President Trump.
According to the Washington Free Beacon on Thursday, GOP lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena for testimony from Mark Pomerantz, once the top assistant to the George Soros-backed DA who recently secured a 34-count indictment of former President Donald Trump for an alleged federal campaign finance violation.
The Free Beacon noted that Pomerantz resigned from Bragg’s office in February 2022 because of a dispute over the Trump investigation.

As The Free Press recently reported, Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, named both Bragg and Pomerantz in an ethics complaint for prosecutorial misconduct. He asserted the DA’s investigation of Trump was mere politics and cited Pomerantz’s book about Trump as proof.
In the book, “People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account,” Pomerantz rips Trump as a “malignant narcissist” and maybe a “megalomaniac” who “posed a real danger to the country and to the ideas that mattered to me.” “His behavior made me angry, sad, and even disgusted,” he added.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan ordered Pomerantz to testify on April 20.
“Congress has a specific and manifestly important interest in preventing politically motivated prosecutions of current and former Presidents,” Jordan wrote in the letter subpoenaing Pomerantz.

“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.”
The Free Beacon noted that Pomerantz was upset with Bragg and quit because he had suspended the probe into Trump. Pomerantz said at the time that he had “no doubt” that Trump was guilty of “numerous” felonies.
Jordan said in his letter that he wanted Pomerantz to testify because he thinks Bragg succumbed to pressure from him and other like-minded liberals to charge Trump.
Bragg has accused Trump of falsifying business records to hide a $130,000 payment in 2016 to stripper Stormy Daniels, an effort to cover up an alleged affair during Trump’s first presidential campaign.
Trump denies the affair and paying off Daniels.
