Jim Jordan subpoenas former Manhattan prosecutor in first strike against office prosecuting Trump

JTN: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Thursday subpoenaed a former Manhattan prosecutor who openly campaigned to criminally charge Donald Trump – in the first significant strike at the office that brought the historic indictment against the former president this week.

Jordan’s subpoena to former Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz comes just days after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pointedly declined to provide documents and testimony to Jordan’s committee, calling it an interference in his investigation.

In a letter last month, the GOP-led panel requested Pomerantz’s voluntary cooperation, but he declined to cooperate at the direction of Bragg’s office. 

The subpoena compels his cooperation, setting up a potential legal battle pitting the oversight powers of the federal legislative branch against a state judicial system.

In his letter transmitting the subpoena, Jordan told Pomerantz his testimony was needed in part to inform legislation that would protect future presidents from political persecutions. more here

  1. Jim Jordan showed America exactly what House subpoenas are worth when he just ignored his. Tampering with state charges is against the law, but he/Jim has a bigly nuthin burder & feels hopelessly helpless.

  2. In the (unlikely) event that Pres. Trump goes to prison, watch the dumpocraps try to push a bill through that an incarcerated person can’t serve as President, unless there is already such a law on the books.

    The dumpocraps are low, low, lowdown critters. Rats would make better people than dumpocraps.
