'Built on lies': Former Manhattan prosecutor offers blistering assessment of Trump’s businesses

07 February 2023

A former Manhattan prosecutor is shedding light on the perspective of those who previously investigated former President Donald Trump and his business dealings.

Mark Pomerantz, one of the legal professionals who served as one of New York's special assistant district attorneys investigating Trump, said everyone involved in the investigation agreed that the former president inflated his "assets to appear billions of dollars richer than he actually was," according to HuffPost.

On Sunday, February 5, Pomerantz appeared on CBS News' "60 Minutes" where he expounded on the investigation. After resigning in protest when "Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg decided not to seek an indictment of Trump," Pomerantz argued that "he believed Trump was 'guilty of numerous' felonies and that there was 'no doubt' of his guilt," HuffPost reported.

During the interview, Pomerantz made it clear that anyone in Trump's position would have been indicted “in a flat second.”

“If you take the exact same conduct and make it not about Donald Trump and not about a former president of the United States, would the case have been indicted?” Pomerantz said on “60 Minutes.”

“It would have been indicted in a flat second," he said.

Pomerantz, who is also the author of the book People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account, made it clear that he still disagrees with the decision made by Bragg to forego indicting Trump.

“Given all the evidence that we had, nobody said, ‘Hey, the guy’s not guilty," Pomerantz said.
