2 NY Prosecutors Abruptly Resign From Investigating Trump Organization

The Epoch Times Header

The two prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorneyโ€™s criminal inquiry into the Trump Organization abruptly resigned on Wednesday.

The resignations of prosecutors Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz were confirmed by a spokesperson for District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

โ€œWe are grateful for their service,โ€ said spokesperson Danielle Filson, without elaborating. Filson declined to comment further, saying the investigation is ongoing.

The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, reported that the prosecutors quit after Bragg raised doubts about pursuing a case against former President Donald Trump.

The Epoch Times has been unable to independently verify the reports. Dunne and Pomerantz didnโ€™t immediately respond to requests for comment by The Epoch Times.

The D.A.โ€™s office investigation led to tax fraud charges last July against Trumpโ€™s company, the Trump Organization, and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg. Trump has not been charged in the case.

Weisselberg was accused of collecting more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation, including apartment rent, car payments, and school tuition. He and the company have pleaded not guilty.

One of the unnamed sources told The New York Times that after Bragg signaled that he had doubts in the case, Dunne and Pomerantz last month postponed interviewing at least one witness before the grand jury.

The reasons behind Braggโ€™s alleged doubts in the case are unclear.

It comes after New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled on Feb. 18 that Trump and two of his children, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr., must testify in another investigation being conducted by New York Attorney Letitia James.

Attorneys for Trump argued that the investigation violates the U.S. and New York Constitutions and thus, the subpoenas issued against him and his children should be quashed.

Engoron said heโ€™s considered the arguments โ€œand finds them to be unavailing and/or non-dispositive,โ€ adding that all three must sit for depositions within 21 days of the order.
