Manhattan prosecutor attacks Trump in resignation letter

A Manhattan prosecutor who investigated Donald Trump’s financial dealings wrote in a resignation letter that he believed Trump “is guilty of numerous felony violations”. Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, two top prosecutors on the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal investigation of Trump, resigned abruptly last month, amid reports that the investigation into the former president’s finances was foundering. In a resignation letter written in February, Pomerantz blasted the new district attorney for not moving ahead with an indictment, and wrote that the team of lawyers investigating Trump had “no doubt” he had “committed crimes”. He added that the decision by newly elected district attorney Alvin Bragg not to move ahead with prosecuting Trump “will doom any future prospects that Mr Trump will be prosecuted for the criminal conduct we have been investigating”. “His financial statements were false, and he has a long history of fabricating information relating to his personal finances and lying about his assets to banks, the national media, counterparties, and many others, including the American people,” Pomerantz reportedly wrote. The clock is ticking on the case against Trump, as the current term of the grand jury which has been hearing evidence expires in April. The Guardian
