In a cover letter that accompanied the subpoena, Jordan stated that there were legislative reasons for demanding Pomerantz&#8217;s testimony.<\/p>\n<p>Pomerantz&#8217;s resignation letter, which expressed his belief that Trump was guilty of numerous felony violations related to his financial statements, became a public affair when it appeared in the New York Times last March. He quit because he objected to Bragg&#8217;s decision at the time to indefinitely suspend the Trump investigation. <\/p>\n<p>Jordan observed, based on the resignation letter, that Pomerantz had prejudged the investigation results, and that his critical words about Bragg seemingly sparked the district attorney to openly declare that the Trump investigation was far from over. <\/p>\n<p>Later in November 2022, a week after Trump announced that he was running for president again, the Times reported that Bragg had revived the Trump investigation and had zeroed in on a hush money scheme involving porn star Stormy Daniels and Trump&#8217;s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen. <\/p>\n<p>It is Jordan&#8217;s contention that Pomerantz is uniquely placed to provide insight to the Judiciary Committee and that he should have no basis to decline to testify as he has already made detailed accounts of his work on the Trump probe widely public. <\/p>\n<p>The subpoena is the Republicans&#8217; strongest move yet in their investigation of the New York County&#8217;s indictment of Trump amid questions about Congress&#8217;s authority to investigate open state-level criminal matters. <\/p>\n<p>Write to Ashley Oliver at <a href=\"http:\/\/bonginoreport.com\/mailto:aoliver@breitbart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">aoliver@breitbart.com<\/a>.
