In his resignation letter, Mark Pomerantz wrote that the new Manhattan district attorney's decision not to prosecute the ex-president 'is misguided and completely contrary to the public interest.'
of a prosecutor who abruptly quit last month over the new Manhattan district attorney's refusal to bring charges against former President Donald Trump."I believe that Donald Trump is guilty of numerous felony violations of the penal law in connection with the preparation and use of his annual statements of financial condition," Mark Pomerantz wrote to the new district attorney, Alvin Bragg, on February 23.
As the prosecutor detailed of the ex-president:"His financial statements were false, and he has a long history of fabricating information relating to his personal finances and lying about his assets to banks, the national media, counterparties, and many others, including the American people. The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes—he did.
"You have reached the decision not to go forward with the grand jury presentation and not to seek criminal charges at the present time," he noted."The investigation has been suspended indefinitely. Of course, that is your decision to make. I do not question your authority to make it, and I accept that you have made it sincerely."
"However, a decision made in good faith may nevertheless be wrong," Pomerantz added."I believe that your decision not to prosecute Donald Trump now, and on the existing record, is misguided and completely contrary to the public interest." "I fear that your decision means that Mr. Trump will not be held fully accountable for his crimes," he concluded."I have worked too hard as a lawyer, and for too long, now to become a passive participant in what I believe to be a grave failure of justice. I therefore resign from my position as a special assistant district attorney, effective immediately."
