Page 28 - Jeff Berman News Today

Attorney in charge of the southern district investigation is as deeply troubling as any news that we have seen. remember jeff berman recused himself because he was a trump campaign contributor. he engaged in a one on one interzu donald trump. he was a form partner of rudy giuliani. and there are solid reasons why berman should not be in charge of this investigation and why trump wanted him to be. >> if im not mistaken, i believe the times reporting is slightly erroneous. it didnt come from berma...

Investigation into michael cohen. jeff berman hadnt been on the job fr loor a long time. so we have no potential issues with this sensitive investigation, it was the presidents personal attorney, were not going to involve somebody who was appointed by trump. lets address the trump ally. i think its a fair point to say someone who is investigating christopher collins, who was one of donald trumps biggest and first supporters in congress, somebody who has indicted the russian leicester ciawyer, th...

Was hated inside the fbi, there is a crisis of confidence. he said no, that isnt true. >> bret: "the new york times" story comes out today that says the president called the acting attorney general matt whitaker and essentially asked if a u.s. attorney jeff berman for the southern district of new york could take over the widening investigation that included cohen and was told essentially no. this is the president on this "new york times" story today. >> i do not know who gave you thats -- thats ...

One is perjury, lying to the according. one is misleading. you can be trustful but still misleading. theres the two statutes there. you not only have to be truthful, you cannot mislead. so if he said the president never asked me to do something and its misleading because he knew what the president wanted. jeff berman is a respected lawyer. >> shepard: is that the one according to the times that the president wanted put in charge of the cohen investigation? >> because the president nominated him ...

Off the stage. >> the blessing is we get to keep having this conversation for a while. tiffany, nice to see you in person. rick, as always, thank you. steve kornacki, i thank you as well in new york. theres breaking news coming from the white house. while signing the space policy directive that will direct the pentagon to create the presidents space force, the president was asked about "the new york times" new reporting that the president asked matt whitaker, the former acting attorney general...

>> well, the president sort of went back to one of his old plays. if you remember in march of 2017 when the president was just in office, his attorney general, jeff sessions, recused himself from the investigation. this drove trump nuts and he actually tried to get sessions to unrecuse himself and put back control of the investigation. that failed and ultimately became something that mueller was looking at and whether the president obstructed justice. there was no lesson that appears to have bee...

To let the investigation go to flynn, i personally think, like many other legal experts, that that could and should constitute obstruction, but there are arguable defenses that trump could raise and he could say he was helping a friend or he was trying to an end investigation that was politically motivated and it didnt center on him at the time of the firing. he cannot say those things about the southern district of new york. there is no question that he has known from day one and it has become ...
