Appeals court presses pause on House GOP subpoena to former Trump prosecutor
NEW YORK — An appeals court temporarily halted a planned Thursday deposition of former Trump prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, delaying an effort by House Republicans to investigate the office of the Manhattan district attorney.
The brief pause gives the court time to consider arguments from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that a subpoena for Pomerantz’s testimony is unconstitutional.
The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), issued the subpoena to Pomerantz, who previously worked for the district attorney’s office, in the wake of Bragg filing criminal charges against former President Donald Trump late last month.
Bragg then sued Jordan and the Judiciary panel, seeking a court order preventing the House from enforcing the subpoena.
