A top prosecutor who resigned from Manhattan DA’s investigation into Trump’s business practices wrote in his resignation letter that he believes Trump broke a number of laws.
“The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did,” Mark Pomerantz wrote.
Pomerantz wrote that the crimes were related to the “preparation and use of his annual Statements of Financial Condition,” which “were false.”
He added that he believes Manhattan DA Bragg’s decision to suspend the probe is contrary to public interest.
“I fear that your decision means that Mr. Trump will not be held fully accountable for his crimes,” Pomerantz wrote.
“I have worked too hard as a lawyer, and for too long, now to become a passive participant in what I believe to be a grave failure of justice. I therefore resign from my position as a Special Assistant District Attorney, effective immediately.”

Naive. These documents are created by CPA-type firms with tons of lawyers. Trump doesn’t just do this on his own, that’s simply not the way it works.
Trump 2024
YWN news is not Yeshivadik or Worldly. The prosecutor forgot US law. We dont pursue witch hunts or prosecute based on beliefs. He should be prosecuted for defamation of character.
Manhattan DA Bragg suspended Trump investigation ‘indefinitely,’ stopped pursuing charges. Trump did not inflate his financial statements, as prosecutors had anticipated, but instead, undervalued his assets. The source also told Fox News that Trump never defaulted on payments to banks, and said his statement of financial condition included “caveats” which “refuted” claims by the DA’s office. One source familiar with the investigation claimed the case against Trump was political and fueled by the former president’s political enemies, and told Fox News that Pomerantz “shouldn’t have been in the DA’s office in the first place.”
Before joining Vance’s office, Pomerantz was of counsel at New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. He took leave from the firm last year to join Vance’s office to investigate Trump’s financial dealings.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s brother, Robert Schumer, is a partner at the firm. Pomerantz donated to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“It is a great tribute to the system that Alvin Bragg came in and stopped the unfairness against Trump,” a source close to the investigation told Fox News. “Bragg and his team did the legally and morally correct thing, and they didn’t go the typical political route.”
The source added that Bragg and his team “realized they had no case, they stopped it.”
Cuomo didn’t! This same Manhattan D.A. let the cases against Cuomo drop because this is his priority.
By the way, who’s looking into the Bidens?
The headline clearly makes it sound like he will be prosecuted. But the article explains punct farkert. The DA’s office is actually not pursuing prosecution, and the so-called “prosecutor” is no longer a prosecutor at all. This is what umos ha’olam call click-bait. Yeshivish people call it geneivas daas.
If he committed numerous crimes, why isn’t he arrested and charged already, last I checked prosecutors don’t mess around, I guess………. It’s still being looked for.
> “preparation and use of his annual Statements of Financial Condition”
As if Trump sits down at 2 AM every night to write his own financial statements? Of course it is obvious that if the client is held criminally responsible for the misdeeds or mistakes of the accounting firm then all sorts of institutions and wealthy individuals would get very nervous and show their displeasures to the politicians.
But maybe there is something even deeper involved. The media previously reported that Trump’s accountants are from Mazars, and I assume this is the same Mazar’s that Wikipedia describes as follows:
> a global audit, accounting and consulting group employing more than 42,000 professionals in more than 90 countries through member firms. With head offices in France, Mazars has a network of correspondent partners and joint ventures in a further 21 countries and is a founding member of the Praxity alliance, a network of independent firms.
What Wikipedia does not seem to report is the clients. Such as in 2019 Goldman Sachs chose Mazars for the European branch of its audit. In 2022 accountancydaily wrote that Mazars services “30% of the listed companies in France” and “140 large-listed companies” in China.
So any complaints about how Mazars did Trump’s statements would reflect also on every other one of those high profile and connected clients, including China, and maybe focusing a light on Mazars’ activities may have made certain people (maybe even the ones in the White House right now) nervous.
