Ex-Gotti Jr. prosecutor joins Manhattan DA’s Trump probe, has already interviewed Michael Cohen

Pomerantz, whose hire was first reported by the New York Times, served as chief of the criminal division of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office in the late 1990s. In that role, he oversaw some of the most explosive federal prosecutions of the time, including the successful racketeering case against Gotti, who was known as “Teflon Don, Jr.” for his history of getting away with alleged crimes, much like his late father.
