Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to drop his challenge of a congressional subpoena to former Trump case prosecutor Mark Pomerantz. As part of an agreement with the House Judiciary Committee, Pomerantz will be allowed to give a deposition on May 12.
The agreement was made between the Manhattan DA and the committee, in which Bragg will be represented by Leslie Dubeck, his office's general counsel. In papers filed with the federal 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, Bragg and the House Judiciary Committee jointly asked for dismissal of Bragg's challenge against this congressional subpoena.
House Republicans have struck a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office that allows ex-prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to testify before Congress during an inquiry over the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. This development follows Thursday's appeals court decision overturning a previous order that compelled Pomerantz to provide testimony.
The Manhattan DA’s Office has withdrawn its appeal in Bragg v. Jordan, allowing for Pomerantz’s deposition on May 12 as scheduled.
"I am pleased we were able to reach an agreement," said Alvin Bragg in a statement when discussing dropping his challenge against Mark Pomerantz being subpoenaed by Congress.
In response, Leslie Dubeck expressed confidence in representing her client: "We are committed to ensuring Mr. Bragg is well-represented throughout these proceedings."
As both parties prepare for what could be critical testimonies regarding past dealings within Trump administration cases, many await further developments from this significant legal milestone.
