Former prosecutor who investigated Trump pleads the 5th under questioning by lawmakers
Video was reportedly recorded during a closed session of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Govt in May 2023.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., posted a video on Thursday of a former prosecutor who investigated former President Trump pleading the fifth under questioning about his actions.
The video was recorded during a closed session of the Select Sub-committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in May 2023, according to a congressional source.
Mark Pomerantz, former special assistant to the New York County District Attorney, can be seen in the video declining to answer several questions, such as, “Did you knowingly break any laws when investigating President Trump?” and “Did you misuse any federal funds when investigating President Trump?”
His counsel appeared to be saying, “objection” after each question.

Pomerantz resigned on February 23, 2022. In his resignation letter, Pomerantz argued that there was “evidence sufficient to establish Mr. Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt” and that “the public interest warrants the criminal prosecution of Mr. Trump.”
According to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the chairman of the select subcommittee, and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y. and Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Pomerantz’s “scathing resignation letter was leaked to the New York Times, and he even penned a book taking Bragg to task for not being more aggressive in going after Trump. If Pomerantz couldn’t convince Bragg to bring charges in private, he would do it publicly.”
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg later charged Trump in April 2023.
