(Reuters) – A former prosecutor who led the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal probe into former U.S. President Donald Trump will go ahead with testimony in May before a congressional committee after an effort to block his appearance was dropped, the panel said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz will testify May 12, a spokesperson for the chairman of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee said. <\/p>\n

The committee subpoenaed him in connection with the probe that led to Trump becoming the first ex-president to be criminally charged. <\/p>\n

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, sued Jim Jordan, the Republican chair of the committee, to block the subpoena.<\/p>\n

On Friday, both sides said the appeal had been dropped, paving the way for the deposition to take place. <\/p>\n

“We are pleased with this resolution, which ensures any questioning of our former employee will take place in the presence of our General Counsel on a reasonable, agreed upon timeframe,” a spokesperson for the a Manhattan District Attorney said.<\/p>\n

Trump, the Republican front-runner in the 2024 presidential nominating campaign, pleaded not guilty on April 4 to 34 felony charges. They related to a hush money payment before the 2016 election to a porn star to prevent her from discussing a sexual encounter she said they had. He denies the liaison took place.<\/p>\n
