This book is an alarm. It’s a sign that danger is close, and that it’s serious. That’s not how the author meant it. Mark Pomerantz published People vs. Donald Trump last year to describe his role as a special assistant district attorney in Manhattan, trying to prosecute the former president, and to complain about an initial decision in the DA’s office not to file charges. I didn’t notice it until I saw Pomerantz taking the fifth over and over again in response to recent questions about his behavior during the investigation, but I bought a copy this week — a...

It appears the public will be learning more details regarding New York’s decision to indict former President Donald Trump over the Stormy Daniels matter.

Jim Jordan (R-OH).ABC News reported that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has agreed to dismiss his appeal of a ruling that allowed a subpoena for testimony about the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump by the Republican-led...

Last week House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed former New York County Special District Attorney Mark Pomerantz. Pomerantz left the office not long after Bragg took over, allegedly because he was upset that Bragg wouldn’t prosecute Trump. The subpoena from Jordan was ostensibly for oversight of Bragg’s behavior. Here’s a bit of the letter to Pomerantz from Rep. Jordan.…if state or local prosecutors are able to engage in politically motivated prosecutions of Presidents of the United States (current or former) for personal acts, this could have a profound impact on how Presidents choose to exercise their powers while in office....

Former federal prosecutor Mark Pomerantz has written a new book in which he presents the case that the Manhattan District Attorney should have charged former President Donald Trump with several crimes relating to his financial dealings. Pomerantz, who assisted the Manhattan District Attorney's office in its investigation into Trump's finances from December 2020 until he left the case in February 2022, had been in private practice for a long time before taking the position. He was originally hired by DA Cyrus Vance but left the job after new DA Alvin Bragg decided not to continue with charges against Trump. He...

Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, who had been leading the investigation under former DA Cyrus Vance, submitted their resignations last month, after Bragg began raising doubts about pursuing a case against Trump. "You have reached the decision not to go forward with the grand jury presentation and not to seek criminal charges at the present time," Pomerantz wrote in his resignation letter, first reported...

VIDEOLiberals were jubilant a year ago. Legendary prosecutor Mark Pomerantz was brought into the case against President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney. Yes, all the previous investigations of Trump flopped including the Trump-Russia Collusion investigated by Robert Mueller, the Trump tax returns that were sure to take him down...until it didn't, and how the Trump Organization CFO would "flip" on Trump...until he didn't. However, with Pomerantz all doubt was set aside because he was absolutely sure to convict Trump of something, ANYTHING. Alas, it was not to be. Could it be that, well, Donald Trump is INNOCENT of...
