Manhattan DA Bragg, Jordan resolve dispute over deposition of former Trump prosecutor

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/manhattan-da-bragg-jordan-resolve-011900595.html


Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg agreed Friday night to dismiss his appeal of a ruling that allowed a subpoena for testimony about the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump by the Republican-led committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan.

The two sides came to an agreement allowing former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to be deposed next month with a representative from the district attorney's office to be present.

"Our successful stay of this subpoena blocked the immediate deposition and afforded us the time necessary to coordinate with the House Judiciary Committee on an agreement that protects the District Attorney's privileges and interests. We are pleased with this resolution, which ensures any questioning of our former employee will take place in the presence of our General Counsel on a reasonable, agreed upon timeframe," a spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney said.

…NOTHING! The representative of the DA’s office will block - under law - anything pertinent to the case.

The former prosecutor is under no obligation to the DA's office. The General Counsel can object to a question but he has no authority to stop an answer.
