☆ New York appeals court halts first subpoena in House Judiciary Committee's Trump prosecution inquiry

A NY court has blocked the first subpoena issued by a House GOP inquiry into Trump's hush-money prosecution. Ex-Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz had been ordered to submit to Judiciary Committee questioning Thursday. That's now on hold while committee chair Jim Jordan and DA Alvin Bragg continue fighting over the inquiry. Bragg's office must file court papers by Friday explaining why Pomerantz should not testify, and why Wednesday's decision should be overturned. Bragg has sued to fight the committee's inquiry into the hush-money prosecution, under which Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

A federal judge in Manhattan handed Trump's NY prosecutors their first legal setback Wednesday. Ex-prosecutor Mark Pomerantz must now testify before the House Judiciary Committee as early as Thursday. The inquiry will also explore the need for legislation to protect former presidents from "political prosecution," judiciary committee attorney Matthew B. Berry had argued. Lawyers for both sides — the judiciary committee and Bragg's office — are accusing each other of abusing their power for political gain. Attorneys for the judiciary committee did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment on the decision; a spokeswoman for Bragg said an appeal will be filed in hopes of delaying Thursday's testimony.

The arraignment of Donald Trump on Tuesday will not be broadcast live, a judge ruled. Trump's lawyers argued in a Monday letter to Merchan that he should deny the request by news outlets to allow cameras in the courtroom for Trump's Manhattan arraignment on Tuesday. Trump's attorneys also asked that Merchan to take security concerns into account. "As Your Honor is well-aware, this case presents extraordinary security concerns (including Secret Service-related concerns) and we submit that any video or photography of the proceedings will only heighten these serious concerns," Trump's attorneys wrote. Mr. Trump's arraignment has generated unparalleled public interest and media attention," Merchan wrote.

Attorneys for Donald Trump told a New York City judge on Monday — ahead of the indicted former president's arraignment — that they don't want cameras in the courtroom because it will "create a circus-like atmosphere," CNN reported. "We submit that the media request should be denied because it will create a circus-like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns, and is inconsistent with President Trump's presumption of innocence," Trump's legal team wrote in the letter, according to CNN. Trump himself has called for mass protests outside his arraignment, saying his prosecution is politically motivated. Trump's attorneys said in the Monday letter that courtroom cameras could exacerbate security concerns. "As Your Honor is well-aware, this case presents extraordinary security concerns (including Secret Service-related concerns) and we submit that any video or photography of the proceedings will only heighten these serious concerns," Trump's attorneys wrote.
