One of the two New York prosecutors who quit over the slow pace of a criminal probe into former President Donald Trump said the pair had never committed to staying with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office through any trial, which would likely take years.
Mark Pomerantz, 70, and Carey Dunne, 63, resigned last month when new District Attorney Alvin Bragg stopped supporting their aggressive push to bring criminal charges and expressed skepticism about their strategy. Both men had been recruited by Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus Vance, whose term expired in December.
