Instead, she ordered that Mr Jordan’s lawyers respond by April 17 and scheduled a hearing in the case for April 19, the day that Mr Jordan’s committee had set for Mr Pomerantz’s deposition. On Tuesday afternoon, the judge in the case, Mary Kay Vyskocil, declined to issue a temporary restraining order that had been proposed by Mr Bragg’s lawyers, which would have prohibited any enforcement of the subpoena sent to Mr Pomerantz.

Mr Jordan has left open the possibility of subpoenaing Mr Bragg. Mr Bragg’s lawyers also intend to prevent any other such subpoenas, the lawsuit says.
Mr Pomerantz resigned early last year after Mr Bragg, just weeks into his first term in office, decided not to seek an indictment of Trump at that time. Lawyers for Mr Bragg are seeking to bar Mr Jordan and his congressional allies from enforcing a subpoena sent to Mark Pomerantz, who was once a leader of the district attorney’s Trump investigation and who later wrote a book about that experience.

The 50-page suit, filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, accuses Mr Jordan of a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the prosecution of Mr Trump and a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” on the district attorney.
