One of the two senior investigators who resigned from the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation into Trump’s financial documents said in his resignation letter that there was “no doubt” that Trump had committed a crime.
, following his election to the position after former DA Cyrus Vance retired.
Bragg’s office has maintained that the investigation into whether the former president lied about his wealth in financial documents is ongoing. But Pomerantz’s letter seems to indicate that the office is unlikely to charge Trump with any criminal conduct, in spite of evidence showing that such a case would likely succeed.
“[Trump’s] 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,”“The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did,” Pomerantz added.
The former prosecutor asserted that Bragg’s decision to slow down the investigation was “misguided and completely contrary to the public interest.” Pomerantz also stated in his letter that he and others in the District Attorney’s office have garnered sufficient evidence “to establish Mr. Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”No case is perfect.
“I fear that your decision means that Mr. Trump will not be held fully accountable for his crimes,” Pomerantz concluded. “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.”
