DEVELOPING: Matt Gaetz Is Coming For The Manhattan Prosecutors Office…

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is bringing the fight to the Manhattan DA’s office—that’s the hope anyway. …

The Congressman from Florida recently drafted a resolution to hold former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz in contempt of Congress, following his contentious appearance before Congress in May.

Pomerantz is a former colleague of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the hope is that pressure placed on Pomerantz will lead to critical information on Bragg, his office, the current charges against President Trump, or all three.

Rep. Gaetz announced on Tuesday:

“Today I’m filing a resolution to hold Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz in contempt of Congress. I believe Mr. Pomerantz engaged in misconduct in his targeting of President Trump, and his refusal to answer simple questions should not go unpunished.

If he fails to comply with the congressional subpoena, then the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives must summon him by force.”

Just The News had more on the story:

The House Weaponization of the Federal Government Select Subcommittee, of which Gaetz is a member, subpoenaed ex-Manhattan prosecutor Pomerantz in April.

The prosecutor testified to Congress the following month after failing in his challenges against the subpoena.

“However, during his appearance, he failed to comply with the subpoena by incorrectly asserting his Fifth Amendment right when asked questions about information he referenced in his book,” Gaetz said.

 

“I believe Mr. Pomerantz engaged in misconduct,” Gaetz said.

Fox News provided this quote form Matt Gaetz:

“He lobbied his way onto a prosecutorial team as a private lawyer.

He did all he could to gaslight charges against Donald Trump.

When the evidence didn’t support those charges, he initially got miffed and quit the team and wrote a book about it,” Gaetz told Fox News Digital.

“Now, he has the nerve to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege over these matters when he has clearly explicitly and repeatedly waived that privilege.

Contempt is proper where someone refuses to answer Congress’s questions under a frivolous assertion.”
