A federal judge ruled Wednesday that a former prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation of Donald Trump’s business dealings must testify this week before a congressional committee.
in Washington on Thursday. The subpoena prompted a lawsuit last week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg against Rep. Jim Jordan, who chairs the committee.
“Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition,” Vyskocil wrote in the opinion. “No one is above the law.”Throughout the hearing, Vyskocil, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2018, suggested that she didn’t think she had the authority to cut off a legitimate exploration of an issue by Congress. At one point, the judge held up a maroon colored pocket copy of the Constitution to emphasize the clause that protects Congress from being sued for conducting its business.
“It’s not for the court to tell Congress, if it’s a valid subpoena, how to conduct its inquiry,” Vyskocil said.Advertisement Jordan, a Republican, announced a probe into the recent criminal indictment of Trump by Bragg, a Democrat, claiming the case is politically-motivated. The committee has pointed to public comments made by Pomerantz in a published memoir disparaging Trump as proof that the office has a bias against the ex-president, who has announced a 2024 run for the White House.
