The outreach to Pomerantz and Dunne comes days after Jordan and two other Republican chairmen sent a letter to Bragg, a Democrat, seeking information about his actions in the Trump case, which they characterized as an “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.” They requested testimony as well as documents and copies of any communications with the Justice Department. Requests for comment from Pomerantz and Dunne were not immediately returned Wednesday night. “It now appears that your efforts to shame Bragg have worked as he is reportedly resurrecting a so-called ‘zombie’ case against President Trump using a tenuous and untested legal theory.” “Last year, you resigned from the office over Bragg’s initial reluctance to move forward with charges, shaming Bragg in your resignation letter - which was subsequently leaked - into bringing charges,” Jordan, an Ohio Republican, wrote in the letter to Pomerantz late Wednesday. Jordan and other senior Republicans have called the Bragg’s investigation a “political persecution,” and one that is without merit. The letters, obtained by The Associated Press, are part of a larger GOP-led congressional investigation into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as he is wrapping up a probe into whether Trump engaged in an illegal hush money scheme involving a porn actor.
A grand jury in New York is weighing whether or not to bring an indictment against Trump. They request transcribed interviews and a series of communications by March 27. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent letters to Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne as the party rallies around the former president. WASHINGTON (AP) - House Republicans on Wednesday demanded testimony and documents from two former Manhattan prosecutors who had been leading a criminal investigation into Donald Trump before quitting last year in a clash over the direction of the probe.
