An appeals court has temporarily blocked a former prosecutor for the Manhattan DA's office from testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, putting on hold a ruling against DA Alvin Bragg.
Vyskocil sided with the arguments presented by the committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, that its subpoena of Pomerantz was lawful and proper.
The decision gives the courts more time to consider arguments from Bragg, who called the congressional inquiry into his probe of Trump anof an ongoing investigation in his lawsuit. Bragg argued that allowing Jordan's demands, including the subpoena of Pomerantz, would cause “imminent irreparable harm if the secret and privileged material is compelled to be disclosed.”
Jordan had argued that Pomerantz’s previous role in the DA’s office leading a probe into Trump’s finances makes him “uniquely situated to provide information that is relevant and necessary” to his committee’s investigation. He has also noted that Pomerantz has already divulged information about the investigationfrom the Democrat-led House Jan. 6 committee last year, also pushed back at Bragg’s argument that he is trying to interfere with the DA’s investigation into Trump.
Pomerantz filed a declaration in court Monday asking the judge to block the subpoena because he’s in an “impossible position.”
