Agreement Reached Between Manhattan District Attorney and House Judiciary Committee to Allow Former Prosecutor to Testify in Trump Indictment Probe

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the House Judiciary Committee have reached an agreement that will allow a former prosecutor from the DA’s office to testify in a congressional probe into the indictment of former President Donald Trump.

The agreement was reached Friday evening, after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Wednesday evening. The agreement was made between Bragg, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, and the ex-prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz.

The deal resolves a lawsuit in which District Attorney Alvin Bragg had sought to block Pomerantz from testifying, ending a legal dispute that escalated to a federal appeals court just weeks after Trump’s historic indictment.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had been set to hear arguments in the case on Monday. Among the committee’s concessions, Pomerantz will be accompanied by a lawyer from Bragg’s office, which is not typically allowed in Congressional depositions.

The agreement between the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the House Judiciary Committee will allow the former prosecutor to testify in the congressional probe into the indictment of former President Donald Trump. This resolution of the legal dispute marks an important step in the investigation into the former president’s actions.
