The filing is the latest development in a series of escalating salvos between the House Judiciary Committee and Manhattan prosecutors.
Attorneys for the House Judiciary Committee and its chairman, GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, fired back Monday at a federal lawsuit filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is trying to halt a congressional subpoena of an ex-prosecutor who was involved in the investigation of former President Donald Trump., attorneys for Jordan said Bragg's lawsuit should be dismissed.
"There can be no question that the subpoena to Pomerantz was issued in furtherance of the Committee's investigation," they wrote in Monday's filing. Pomerantz led the Manhattan investigation into Trump for about a year before resigning in February 2022, weeks after Bragg took office, and writing a memoir about the case.The filing is the latest development in a series of escalating salvos between the committee and Manhattan prosecutors.
Pomerantz was named as a defendant in the suit so that he can continue to decline to cooperate with the Judiciary Committee, as advised by Bragg's office,"without facing a risk of contempt proceedings," according to a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
