A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Mark Pomerantz, who was previously involved in the Manhattan district attorney's criminal investigation of former President Trump, must face a House Judiciary Committee subpoena.
U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's 25-page order rejects a request from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) to block House Republicans from questioning Pomerantz, who resigned from Bragg's office last year.
"The subpoena was issued with a 'valid legislative purpose' in connection with the 'broad' and 'indispensable' congressional power to 'conduct investigations,'" ruled Vyskocil, a Trump appointee. "It is not the role of the federal judiciary to dictate what legislation Congress may consider or how it should conduct its deliberations in that connection. Mr. Pomerantz must appear for the congressional deposition. No one is above the law."
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has sought to investigate Bragg's criminal prosecution of Trump, subpoenaing Pomerantz and asking another employee to turn over personal emails about his hiring process in recent days.
