An ex-prosecutor will get questioned.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg agreed Friday to let Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee question an ex-prosecutor about the criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

Under the agreement, committee members will be able to question Mark Pomerantz under oath next month in Washington. The deal resolves a lawsuit in which Bragg had sought to block Pomerantz from testifying, ending a legal dispute that escalated to a federal appeals court just weeks after Trump’s historic indictment.

Pomerantz will be accompanied by a lawyer from Bragg’s office, an accommodation the committee said it would have allowed even without Friday’s agreement.

Bragg’s office and the Judiciary Committee reached the agreement after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay Thursday that temporarily halted enforcement of a House subpoena which had called for Pomerantz to testify.

The appeals court had been scheduled to hear oral arguments in the dispute on Tuesday.

Bragg’s office said the agreement, delaying Pomerantz’s testimony until May 12, preserves the district attorney’s “privileges and interests” in his ongoing Trump prosecution.

“Our successful stay of this subpoena blocked the immediate deposition and afforded us the time necessary to coordinate with the House Judiciary Committee on an agreement that protects the District Attorney’s privileges and interests,” Bragg’s office said in a statement.

      You’ve not been in high level discussion with anyone but your drug dealer. Need treatment for delusional narcissism and medication for schizophrenia.

      This comment *is* Qristianity; violent, racist, delusional ramblings of a cult that believes a Jewish rabbi (that they would never sit next to on a plane if He flew) was killed and returned from the dead to judge behavior. 🤡

      In a few hours you and your criminal cult (96% of our prisons are Christians but only 70% of the country is- why are you all so naughty and easy to prosecute?) will meet for you weekly speaking in tongues…please stop abusing your children, Jacksonville I am looking at you .

      Good Christian men and women; please get your people under control.
