A federal judge declined Wednesday to temporarily halt a congressional subpoena for information about the investigation into Donald Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who quickly moved to appeal the ruling.
Bragg filed a lawsuit earlier this month and sought a temporary restraining order to stop a House Judiciary Committee subpoena to Mark Pomerantz, a former special assistant district attorney who took part in the office’s investigation of Trump and his businesses.
U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil held a hearing on the request Wednesday and then sided with the committee. Vyskocil, who was appointed by Trump, ruled the subpoena was issued with a valid legislative purpose and Pomerantz should comply with a subpoena that demands he appear for testimony Thursday.
