John,

For the past three years, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has gathered incriminating evidence of numerous financial crimes committed by the Trump Organization. Investigators have shown that the Trump Organization engaged in tax and bank-related fraud, inflating the values of Trump’s properties to obtain favorable loans and lowering them to reduce taxes.

That’s why the public was shocked and outraged when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who took over the investigation in January, suspended the inquiry indefinitely. Veteran New York prosecutor and former Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz resigned from his post in February over the decision. In a recent interview, his first since resigning, Pomerantz made clear that Bragg’s decision was flawed:

“I believe that Donald Trump, in fact, was guilty and, second, that there was sufficient evidence as a matter of law to have sustained a guilty verdict if we went forward…My view is that it is toxic to have people believe that the criminal justice system is unable to hold people accountable if those people have huge financial and political influence.”

Nearly 40,000 people have already signed, will you join us? Demand New York Governor Hochul transfer the criminal investigation of the Trump Organization to the Office of the New York Attorney General or to another District Attorney’s Office in the state.

Bragg is unwilling to hold Trump and his allies accountable for defrauding the U.S. government and will continue to block prosecutors in his office from doing so despite the clear evidence of his crimes. ​​Hochul has the authority to supersede a district attorney’s handling of a case, as established by the New York Court of Appeals, and move it to another attorney’s jurisdiction.

Sign if you agree: Because the Manhattan DA failed to act, the investigation of the Trump Organization must be handled by the New York Attorney General or by another District Attorney in New York State.
