Two New York prosecutors who had been leading a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s business operations have departed the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, suddenly casting doubt on the future of the inquiry.
The resignations of Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz come just over a month into the tenure of District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who succeeded longtime prosecutor Cyrus Vance. Vance did not seek re-election.
A Bragg spokesperson, Danielle Filson, confirmed the resignations but indicated that the investigation is “ongoing.”
“We are grateful for their service,” Filson said. “We can’t comment further.”
The resignations were first reported earlier Wednesday by the New York Times.
Dunne and Pomerantz did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“They all should resign for targeting political opponents while crime skyrockets,” Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington said.
The former president has repeatedly derided the criminal investigation and a parallel civil investigation led by New York Attorney General Letitia James as politically motivated.
During a rally last month in Texas, Trump told supporters: “For years they’ve been going after my company. Many years. They’ve been using every trick in the book to literally, if they can, put me in jail. They wanna put me in jail!
