Pomerantz declined to answer questions by citing the confidentiality of the ongoing case and invoking the Fifth Amendment right of self-incrimination, The New York Times reported. The former prosecutor stated that he had appeared before the subcommittee simply because he respects the rule of law.

"We are gathered here because Donald Trump's supporters would like to use these proceedings to attempt to obstruct and undermine the criminal case pending against him, and to harass, intimidate and discredit anyone who investigates or charges him."
