NYC prosecutors of Trump Organization resign

One had been with the DA's office since 1984, the other hired more recently by the retiring DA for his expertise in white collar crime. Neither the prosecutors nor the newly elected DA had comment on the resignations.

[quote]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.[/quote]

I personally would welcome more context and maybe a cite.

For example:

[quote]
The prosecutors, Carey R. Dunne and Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted their resignations [b]after the new Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, indicated to them that he had doubts about moving forward with a case against Mr. Trump[/b], the people said.

@MistyCee My post was from USAToday, https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/02/23/ny-prosecutors-trump-inquiry-resign/6913418001/

More context obviously is needed. With the New York Attorney General getting subpoena powers to move ahead with the state's civil suit, it may be just political decision which goes first. USAToday article did have NYC DA spokesperson statement that their case would proceed.

@dancingtongue Lol. That explains the lack of context.

It might have changed, but I still think of USAToday as the superficial freebie approach to news targeted to motels.

@MistyCee Not a bad description. Also was the online national news site that didn't restrict and harass you for subscription, but that's no longer true.
