to refer to U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's April ruling, which found that the subpoena was"issued with a 'valid legislative purpose' in connection with the 'broad' and 'indispensable' congressional power to 'conduct investigations.'"
Pomerantz served as the special assistant district attorney from February 2021 until February 2023, when he resigned at the same time that another lead prosecutor on the investigation resigned. He cited for his departure frustration with Bragg's decision not to pursue an indictment of Trump.
