NEW YORK (AP) — The two prosecutors in charge of the Manhattan district attorney’s criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump have suddenly resigned, throwing the future of the probe into question. A spokesperson for District Attorney Alvin Bragg confirmed Wednesday the resignations of Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz. Both started on the probe under former District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. and were asked to stay when Bragg took office. Bragg’s spokesperson said the office is “grateful for their service.” Messages seeking comment were left for Dunne and Pomerantz. Trump did not immediately respond to the news, but his lawyer Robert Fischetti said: “In my opinion, this investigation is over.”
