Last month, Mark Pomerantz resigned from an investigation being conducted by the Manhattan district attorney’s office into former President Donald Trump’s finances and business practices. On Wednesday, we found out why: because he felt like the prosecution was not moving fast enough.
In his resignation, submitted on Feb. 23 and obtained one month later by The New York Times and Washington Post, Pomerantz did not mince words: “The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did,” he wrote, stating that the former president committed “numerous felony violations” by lying to banks, lenders, and the government. The prosecutor further argued that it was in the public interest to move forward with criminal prosecution of Trump and that it should be “brought without any further delay.”
