Rep. Nadler: Whitaker Did Not Deny the President Called Him to Discuss Cohen’s Case

NADLER: “One, unlike in the hearing room, Mr. Whitaker did not deny that the President called in to discuss the Michael Cohen case and personnel decisions in the Southern District. Two, while he was acting attorney general, Mr. Whitaker was directly involved in conversations about whether to fire one or more U.S. attorneys. Three, while he was attorney general, acting attorney general, Mr. Whitaker was involved in conversations about the scope of the Southern District of New York U.S. attorney Berman's recusal and whether the Southern District went too far in pursuing the campaign finance case in which the President was listed as Individual 1.”
