12. Unfair characterisation of Mark Pomerantz.

On February 23, 2022, Pomerantz resigned from his role as special assistant to the New York County DA. Carey R. Dunne, who was also leading the investigation of Trump, also resigned.

In his letter of resignation, Pomerantz expressed frustration at the decision of the new Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, not to pursue an indictment of Trump. Pomerantz said there was "evidence sufficient to establish Mr. Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt" and that "the public interest warrants the criminal prosecution of Mr. Trump."

Closing his letter, Pomerantz wrote: "I fear that your decision means that Mr. Trump will not be held fully accountable for his crimes. 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."

By April 2022, Pomerantz returned to Paul Weiss, as of counsel in its litigation department.
