The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday issued a subpoena demanding congressional testimony from Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office who worked on the hush money probe of former President Trump.
It is the first subpoena the panel has issued related to its investigation of Mr. Trump’s arrest on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, said earlier this week that a subpoena of Mr. Bragg is also on the table, but has not yet been issued.
Mr. Jordan said that left him no choice but to subpoena the former prosecutor to answer questions about political bias in Mr. Bragg’s decision to charge the former president. Mr. Pomerantz wrote a book about the Trump investigation in which he said he quit the probe because Mr. Bragg was reluctant to bring charges.
Although Mr. Vance abandoned the hush money probe in 2019, shifting the investigation into other financial concerns, Mr. Pomerantz sought to resurrect it in January 2021 maintaining there was evidence Mr. Trump committed serious crimes.
