Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) shared a clip of his time during a House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing to X (Twitter) on Thursday.

Throughout the hearing, which took place last year, Gaetz asked Pomerantz if he violated the New York State Bar, the Constitution, or misused federal funds during his probe.

Bragg indicted Trump two months after Pomerantz’s departure.
