Former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz pleaded the Fifth when he was asked whether he broke the law to investigate Donald Trump.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) shared a clip of his time during a House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing to X (Twitter) on Thursday.

Throughout the hearing, which took place last year, Gaetz asked Pomerantz if he violated the New York State Bar, the Constitution, or misused federal funds during his probe.

In response, Pomerantz repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right.

Pomerantz’s memoir claims he resigned over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hesitation to prosecute Trump.

Bragg indicted Trump two months after Pomerantz’s departure.
