It would appear that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is about to get his way.
Jordan was looking to subpoena former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz.
Bragg unsuccessfully tried to block the order, but Jordan gave him leeway on the matter to work out a deal.
That deal has been reached, and now Pomerantz will be brought before the committee to testify.
Spin It
Bragg tried to make this sound like a win for him, but it is anything but.
After the deal was negotiated to give Bragg more time to prepare, he took a victory lap of sorts.
He stated, “Our successful stay of this subpoena blocked the immediate deposition and afforded us the time necessary to coordinate with the House Judiciary Committee on an agreement that protects the District Attorney’s privileges and interests.
“We are pleased with this resolution, which ensures any questioning of our former employee will take place in the presence of our General Counsel on a reasonable, agreed upon timeframe.
“We are gratified that the Second Circuit’s ruling provided us with the opportunity to successfully resolve this dispute.”
Jordan believes that Pomerantz holds the key to prove that Bragg has politicized this investigation into Trump.
He will be drilled on why Bragg dropped the case initially, but then decided to not only charge Trump, but also to stack the ledger entries into 34 felony counts.
Should be a fun day in committee.
