The decision is a win for Congressman Jim Jordan, who subpoenaed Pomerantz as part of an investigation into whether federal funds were used in the investigation of Trump.
A court hearing will be held in about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's lawsuit against House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.A federal judge will let House Republicans question a former Manhattan prosecutor about the criminal case against former President Donald Trump, ruling Wednesday that there is no legal basis to block the House Judiciary Committee's subpoena.
Acknowledging the "political dogfights" surrounding the case, the judge said in her ruling that she "does not endorse either side's agenda." She encouraged both sides to speak and "reach a mutually agreeable compromise" on how Pomerantz's deposition will proceed. Vyskocil aggressively questioned lawyers for Bragg, who is prosecuting Trump, and the House Judiciary Committee, which started scrutinizing Bragg's investigation of the former president in the weeks before his indictment. She said sought to focus on the legalities, not the politics surrounding the case.
A committee lawyer, Matthew Berry, countered that Congress has legitimate legislative reasons for wanting to question Pomerantz and examine Bragg's prosecution of Trump, citing the office's use of $5,000 in federal funds to pay for Trump-related investigations. For those reasons, Berry argued, Congress is immune from judicial intervention, citing the speech and debate clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Berry, the committee lawyer, argued that Pomerantz has already shared lots of information with the public about his work on the Trump investigation and the Judiciary Committee has the right to question him about it, too.
