Key inquiry into Trump’s finances in jeopardy as two prosecutors resign

Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz of the Manhattan district attorney's office quit amid signs that the move on Trump is stalling

One of the most aggressive criminal investigations against Donald Trump appears to be running into the sand after the two leading prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney's office investigating the former president's finances resigned.

The inquiry by Manhattan prosecutors into the operations of Trump and the Trump Organization has been among the most dangerous of the many legal perils facing him. The investigation, which began in August 2018 under the former district attorney Cyrus Vance and continued under incumbent Alvin Bragg, has dug ever deeper into alleged discrepancies in the value of the family's assets in an effort to show a pattern of fraudulent behavior.
