Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) will seek to bring contempt of Congress charges against Mark Pomerantz, a Manhattan lawyer who previously pushed for former President Donald Trump’s indictment on questionable charges.

Pomerantz, who authored a book titled “People vs. Donald Trump,” was a Manhattan prosecutor under District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg. Pomerantz earlier led an investigation into Trump’s finances but resigned in February 2022 because of Bragg’s initial unwillingness to pursue a criminal case.
