Former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz concluded Trump's approach to business was similar to that of former mob boss John Gotti.
A former prosecutor who's planning to release a book about the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump he led for nearly a year was warned Monday to expect a lawsuit.
Former Manhattan Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz concluded Trump's approach to business was similar to that of former mob boss John Gotti, and deserved to be indicted, according to a press release for the book,"People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account." It's a description that doesn't sit well with Trump attorney Joseph Tacopina.
"I strongly admonish you to take these next words seriously: If you publish such a book and continue making defamatory statements against my clients, my office will aggressively pursue all legal remedies," Tacopina wrote in a letter to Pomerantz Monday, alleging defamation."If the former president should sue me, I will defend that litigation. I stand by the statements I have made previously and those contained in my forthcoming book," Pomerantz said.
Pomerantz was hired in February 2021 by former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. to lead that office's wide-ranging yearslong investigation into Trump's finances. Pomerantz left the post in February 2022,that newly elected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had balked at charging Trump.
Pomerantz wrote in his resignation letter that he believed"Donald Trump is guilty of numerous felony violations" and advised Bragg"that we have evidence sufficient to establish Mr. Trump's guilt." Bragg, he wrote,"raised issues as to the legal and factual sufficiency of our case and the likelihood that a prosecution would succeed."
