SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 11 – For weeks, a media spotlight has been on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, including photographers waiting on Hogan Place and demonstrators on both sides in Collect Pond Park.
On April 11, Bragg reached south of Worth Street and filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, using an outside law firm, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
Bragg sued not only Rep. Jim Jordan and his Committee but also his office's former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, stating that "Mr. Pomerantz' book [People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account] did not and could not waive any privilege belonging to the DA's Office."
Among the relief requests is "enjoining Mr. Pomerantz's compliance with the subpoena."
The assigned District Judge later issued a scheduling order: "The Court declines to enter the proposed Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause. any response by Defendants to the motion shall be served and filed by April 17, 2023 at 9:00 AM. The Court will hold a hearing on Plaintiff's motion on April 19, 2023 at 2:00 PM in Courtroom 18C of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil on 4/11/2023)."
The case is Bragg v. Jordan, et al., 23-cv-3032 (Vykocil)
