On Tuesday, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) bravely announced his plans to bring contempt charges against a former New York prosecutor who has been obstructing justice in an investigation into the Manhattan district attorney’s targeting of former President Donald Trump. According to Gaetz, attorney Mark Pomerantz has been actively encouraging the Manhattan DA to bring criminal charges against President Trump, even when the evidence didn’t support those charges. When questioned about his involvement, Pomerantz repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, the traitorous coward.
Gaetz rightly pointed out that Pomerantz has explicitly and repeatedly waived his right to the Fifth Amendment and yet refused to answer basic questions from Congress about his involvement. This is a clear example of obstruction of justice, and Gaetz is standing up against political theater to defend the truth.
Pomerantz’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. In his book, “People Vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account”, he makes a case for pursuing criminal charges against President Trump, yet now refuses to answer basic questions from Congress. It is time to hold this corrupt, swamp-dwelling lawyer accountable for his actions.
Since DA Bragg announced 34 criminal charges against the former President, he has done everything in his power to stonewall the investigation by Republicans. He has even tried to restrict President Trump’s access to evidence and went so far as to seek a restraining order against House Oversight Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH). This is a tyrannical abuse of power and a blatant attempt to cover up the truth.
BREAKING: 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.

The Manhattan prosecutor continues to defend his accusations that President Trump used hush money to avoid paying taxes, despite a history of reducing felony charges against other defendants. It is clear that DA Bragg is playing politics and is doing everything he can to deflect attention away from the truth. But, with Congressman Gaetz leading the charge, the truth will come out, and justice will be served.
