A former deputy of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was served with a subpoena on Thursday by one of former President Donald Trump's closest congressional backers, who said the former prosecutor's account of the landmark investigation gives him "no basis" to object to being questioned.

In a letter to Mark Pomerantz, who was 29 from the investigation against Bragg along with former Assistant DA Carey Dunne in early 2022, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, announced the manoeuvre.

In a letter that was leaked to the New York Times, Pomerantz said that Bragg had declined to press charges against Trump despite having a strong case.

Then, in a different hush-money inquiry that Pomerantz thought had less promise, Bragg pursued it and finally filed charges. In his memoir "People v. Trump," Pomerantz discussed the former president's inquiry and the reasons he left it.

These elected officials would better serve their constituents and the country, and fulfill their oath of office, by doing their jobs in Congress and not

That doesn’t mean that Jordan will succeed, but Pomerantz’s memoir could help his committee obtain at least some information, Epner said.

“So once it’s been published, it makes it much more likely that they will be able to get the color behind the statements in the book,” he said.

Pomerantz declined to comment.
