Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block a House Judiciary Committee subpoena issued to a former prosecutor who played a key role in Bragg’s criminal investigation of ex-President Donald Trump.
Bragg’s lawsuit names as defendants Rep. Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican who is Judiciary chair, the committee itself, and Mark Pomerantz, the prosecutor who resigned last year from Bragg’s office amid the Trump probe.
The suit accuses Jordan and the Judiciary Committee of an “unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress on an ongoing New York State criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald J. Trump.”
