Jim Jordan Ups the Ante, Issues Subpoena to Mark Pomerantz to Appear Before the Judiciary Committee After he Declines to Appear Voluntarily

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) upped the ante today by issueing a subpoena to Mark Pomerantz to appear before the committee after he declined to appear voluntarily.

According to a letter sent to Pomerantz, “the committee is conducting oversight of the New York County District Attorney’s unprecedented indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office.”

Jordan expressed concern in the letter that the indictment of Donald Trump could have a negative effect in the future on presidents doing what is best for the nation out of fear of retaliation.

According to Jordan, a request for Pomerantz to voluntarily appear was sent out on March 22, 2023 and a response declining the invitation was received on March 27, 2023.

Jordan noted that the Supreme Court has recognized that Congress has a “broad and indispensable” power to conduct oversight, which “encompasses inquiries into the administration of existing laws, studies of proposed laws, and surveys in our social, economic or political system for the purpose of enabling Congress to remedy them.”

Pomerantz, who is the former New York County Special Assistant District Attorney, is directed to appear before the committee for a deposition on April 20, 2023.

The letter also outlines revelations that were made by Pomerantz in his book that was published in February, “People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account.”

As Breitbart noted, Pomerantz exited the Manhattan district attorney’s office right after District Attorney Alvin Bragg took over the investigation.

Pomerantz quit because he thought Bragg’s decision at the time to “indefinitely” suspend the investigation into Trump was “misguided.”

Prior to Trump’s indictment, Pomerantz had appeared on CBS’ “60 Minutes” to promote and discuss his book.
