The House Judiciary Committee led by Jim Jordan has been looking into Bragg’s Trump investigation, stating that the probe was « politically motivated. »
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, faces another roadblock in the case against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after a federal appeals court temporarily blocked testimony that might have helped Jordan show what he described as a « politically motivated » investigation against former President Donald Trump.
The appeals court for the second circuit issued an order Wednesday night to temporarily prevent former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz from testifying before the committee about the case led by Bragg’s office, putting a hold on a ruling by a Trump-appointed district court judge against Bragg.
The federal appeals court order comes after U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil Wednesday afternoon backed the arguments made by Jordan’s committee about subpoenaing Pomerantz. The subpoena is part of Jordan’s oversight into Bragg’s Trump investigation. Vyskocil ordered Pomerantz to appear for a deposition after denying Bragg’s request to block the committee’s subpoena of the former prosecutor.
