Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg dropped his appeal of a ruling stating that an ex-prosecutor can be subpoenaed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan.
The agreement stipulates that a lawyer from Bragg's office will be present at the testimony who can make objections. Adam Sabes is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to Adam.Sabes@fox.com and on Twitter @asabes10.
"Our successful stay of this subpoena blocked the immediate deposition and afforded us the time necessary to coordinate with the House Judiciary Committee on an agreement that protects the District Attorney’s privileges and interests. 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. We are gratified that the Second Circuit’s ruling provided us with the opportunity to successfully resolve this dispute," a Manhattan DA spokesperson said in a statement.
