The House Judiciary Committee believes it has evidence Trump asked Matt Whitaker, at the time the acting AG, whether Manhattan U.S. attorney Geoffrey Berman could regain control of his office's probe into Michael Cohen and his real-estate biz, WSJ reports.

"Any evidence that Mr. Trump sought to intervene in the federal prosecutors' probe could propel further lines of inquiry by lawmakers into whether he has tried to obstruct the investigation into his business dealings."

(9,903 posts)1. I seem to recall...
Whitaker saying there was no conversation along those lines? And, if there were, shouldn't Whitaker have reported the attempted obstruction?

As long as no one is willing to bring charges or start impeachment process then it doesn't matter. Maybe he will do something criminal on his Hanoi trip and they can lock him up because it appears we never will.

Dems are laying the groundwork.
And I believe Whitaker lied about this while under oath, so he could directly be in trouble as well.
