“Sunday, former Manhattan Special Assistant Prosecutor Mark Pomerantz speaks in his first television interview after abruptly resigning a year ago,” 60 Minutes wrote on twitter.

“He says prosecutor Alvin Bragg halted the grand jury investigation of former President Donald Trump into the Pomerantz case.”

Bragg has defended his decision not to charge Trump, saying: “After carefully reviewing all of the evidence from Mr. Pomerantz’s investigation, I came to the same conclusion as several senior prosecutors involved in the case, including those that I had brought in: more work was needed.”
