NEW YORK — A New York appeals court has granted an emergency request by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to delay a former prosecutor’s deposition before House Republicans probing Bragg’s criminal case against Donald Trump.
Mark Pomerantz was slated to testify under subpoena at 10 a.m. Thursday in Washington, D.C., per a federal judge’s decision Wednesday, who sided with lawyers for the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee. Lawyers for Bragg’s office and Pomerantz appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, resulting in a late-night order temporarily halting the scheduled sit-down.
Pomerantz led the office’s criminal probe into Trump for about a year before resigning in February 2022 amid a disagreement with Bragg about the case being ready — with the then-new DA wanting more time to investigate.
