LOL - Manhattan U.S. attorney recused himself from investigation into Trump’s lawyer
Published: Apr 10, 2018 6:53 p.m. ET
Trump appointee Geoffrey Berman left decision to his deputy, Robert Khuzami
Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The interim Manhattan U.S. attorney, Geoffrey Berman, recused himself from his office’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s
longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to people familiar with the matter, leaving the highly sensitive probe in the hands of his deputy.
The deputy U.S. attorney, Robert Khuzami, whom Berman hired upon taking office in January, previously worked as a partner at
law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP and led the enforcement division of the Securities and Exchange Commission during the Obama
administration. He also spent 12 years as a Manhattan federal prosecutor, including as chief of the securities fraud unit.
It is unclear why Berman stepped back from the Cohen matter, but some legal experts have suggested that Berman’s
involvement could have appeared improper, given his potential nomination by Trump to a permanent job in the post.
