JUDGE DEALS BLOW TO BRAGG REQUEST TO BLOCK SUBPOENA DENIED
Judge Deals Blow To Manhattan DA Bragg – Request To Block Subpoena Denied
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg just suffered a big defeat thanks to a Trump-appointed judge.
U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil blocked Bragg’s request for a temporary restraining order and injunction.
House Republicans will be allowed to question former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz about the case against Donald Trump.
ABC NY reported::A federal judge will let House Republicans question a former Manhattan prosecutor about the criminal case against former President Donald Trump, ruling Wednesday that there is no legal basis to block the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena.Bragg filed suit claiming that Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee were improperly trying to interfere in the Trump prosecution.
U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil rejected Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s request for a temporary restraining order and injunction, finding that committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, issued the subpoena to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz with valid legislative purpose.
Vyskocil, a Trump appointee, issued the ruling hours after a hearing in which she peppered lawyers on both sides with questions, asking them to parse thorny issues of sovereignty, separation of powers and Congressional oversight arising from the historic indictment.
Acknowledging the “political dogfights” surrounding the case, the judge said in her ruling that she “does not endorse either side’s agenda.” She encouraged both sides to speak and “reach a mutually agreeable compromise” on how Pomerantz’s deposition will proceed.
NBC News reported:Bragg filed suit last week in federal court in Manhattan against the committee and Jordan, R-Ohio, charging that they’re improperly trying to interfere with his prosecution of Trump for political reasons.Huge blow to Bragg’s witch hunt!
Jordan maintained it’s Bragg’s investigation that is politically motivated. His committee subpoenaed Pomerantz, who’d been involved with the DA’s investigation into Trump, to testify Thursday.
The judge mocked the DA’s 50-page suit in her ruling, saying, “The first 35 pages of the Complaint have little to do with the subpoena at issue and are nothing short of a public relations tirade against former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.”
