New York prosecutors, including recently hired former mafia prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, have met for an eighth time with former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen as part of a criminal investigation of the former president's finances.
The Republican-majority House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, launched an investigation into Bragg's case, saying it was looking into whether the prosecution was politically motivated. In response to the subpoena to Pomerantz, Bragg sued the Judiciary Committee to try to block the former prosecutor from testifying. Bragg's civil suit argued that the congressional panel had "no power to supervise state criminal prosecutions."
