Two prosecutors involved in the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into the Trump Organization have resigned.

Two top prosecutors on the Manhattan district attorney's criminal investigation into the Trump Organization resigned on Wednesday, leaving the years-long investigation without two important players just as it appeared to be entering a critical point.

Danielle Filson, a spokesperson for the DA's office, said in a statement that Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz had tendered their resignations to the office, and that "we are appreciative for their service."
Filson stated, "The investigation is underway." "We're sorry, but we can't say anything else."
The resignations were initially reported by the New York Times. Pomerantz and Dunne have been contacted by CNN for comment.

According to the New York Times, the resignations came as the new Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, has "suggested to them that he had misgivings about pressing through with a prosecution against" former President Donald Trump, citing contacts with persons familiar with the situation.
According to a source familiar with the investigation, Bragg appeared "disinterested" in his office's probe of the Trump Organization while dealing with negative headlines following the revelation of a memo describing changes to the prosecutorial policy.

The resignation of Dunne and Pomerantz, according to the source, is a setback, but the probe will continue.
"A case can be affected by the team working on it departing, but that doesn't imply the case is over," the source explained.
Another source, however, dismissed the claim that Bragg was uninterested in the case, noting that the district attorney is taking his time. "Alvin is quite interested, and we're looking into it right now," a source added. "And it's been ongoing with a great team of lawyers here."

According to the New York Times, Bragg's worries led to a halt in the investigation's use of a state grand jury, with Dunne and Pomerantz "not questioning any witnesses in front of the grand jury for more than a month." The investigators "late last month postponed a plan to examine at least one witness before the grand jury," according to the newspaper.

The Times reported that "the precise reasons for Mr. Bragg's retreat are unknown," adding that "he has made few public pronouncements regarding the progress of the investigation since entering office."
Following his election last year, Bragg stated in an interview that the investigation is "clearly a serious matter, one that requires the attention of the DA personally."

According to persons familiar with the situation, the probe looks to be coming to a head, with prosecutors focused on the accuracy of the Trump Organization's financial statements while seeking funding.
Prosecutors have already called a key Trump accountant and two Forbes writers to testify before the grand jury. Employees from Deutsche Bank, one of Trump's biggest lenders, were also interviewed. The probe follows the filing of criminal charges against the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer in July, alleging a 15-year tax fraud conspiracy. The Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, the former CFO, have pled not guilty.
