mr. berman. and you did mention that he has this chapter in his book where he talks about getting a call from william barr, who we do know was acting as a fixer for donald trump and as attorney general at the same time but what you said sound like you're alleging some intimidation tactics against mr. berman and maybe against mr. cohen as well. >> no question that mr. berman wrote that in the book he waited a little long to talk about what was basically criminal obstruction of justice, even if the attorney general does it when he calls a u.s. attorney and tries to interfere in a case, and something was amiss in the prosecutors not allowing michael cohen to not come in and talk, even on the friday before the monday they threatened to indict him i know as a lawyer we called after and said can we come in and present you with new evidence on mr. trump? and the criminal lawyer that i was working with said the first time in his career, the southern district prosecutors said no, we don't want your inform

mr. berman, is what is going on with your alabama fetish here? both auburn and alabama in there.oth pick gonzaga the one year they're not a number 1 seed and every single year i pick gonzaga they seem to lose. what is the deal here? do you just love john stockton? >> truth be told my son filled out my entire bracket for me. >> oh, so you're cheating. >> but i think he's a big kaitlan collins fan. i think that's why he put alabama and auburn. the alabama centric -- gonzaga, it's got a nice name. >> i will say my -- i have a family member that lives down in alabama. i also have alabama in my final four. so i'm a big fan of alabama but auburn being an 8 seed that be would be quite the thing if auburn was able to advance. but then again i guess we wouldn't necessarily have thought that fairly dickinson university might be with the potential upset over purdue. >> and just to be clear, fdu is a 16 seed. purdue is a 1 seed. only once in the history of history -- >> correct. >> -- has that happened. >> umbc back in 2018 beat uva by 20 points. that was the biggest shocker. the only other

mr. berman, actually made public statements about the fact that the department of justice from washingtonc. and bill barr was interfering with the prosecutorial independence. if you will recall, he was terminated from the position. he said he would resign -- very, very unusual behavior from a person appointed by the very president himself, and we certainly have seen a public record also from the january 6th committee that has showed the efforts of donald trump to use the department of justice and u.s. attorney's office for his own personal ends, so we know the department of justice said at the time that a sitting president couldn't be indicted, and that's what we understood to be why individual one, donald trump, who was implicated by the u.s. attorney's office, was not necessarily charged. what we don't know is why they have not charged since. nobody can answer that question, but prosecutors -- what they will say is the indication of public evidence in filings that there was evidence, and -- and we would not have a district attorney picking up an investigation and going to a grand jury i

s attorney mr berman prosecuted and mr khuzami prosecuted michael cohen. he went to prison for the that as well as related crimes. i don't remember hearing anything from you. during that period. i guess he wasn't a candidate, but he had been working for donald trump. that was a u. s attorney that prosecuted. we're talking about a local attorney and the problem and look, if you open a can of worms here. here's what's going to happen. you're gonna have county attorneys in in red areas in parts of kentucky rural kentucky, where i am, they're going to start trying to overreach into in the federal election off. this is something that if it needs to be investigated or prosecuted. it should be done on the federal level by the department of justice. this is a presidential candidate. what one frustration republicans have in congress, is it? we keep having interference in our elections. i know that the democrats complained about that rightfully. so when james comey just a few weeks or a few days before the presidential election in 2016 said that hillary was being in

mr. berman is, what is going on with your alabama fetish year? both auburn and alabama in there?oth picked guns allah every year they are not a number one seed. every year i pick guns i got, they seem to lose. >> final truth is my son filled it out for me. and soccer, it has got a nice name. >> i will say i have a family member that lives down in alabama. i also have alabama in my final four. i am a big fan of alabama. but auburn being an eight seed, that would be a good thing if they could advance. but they would not necessarily have thought that fraley dicken university would have the potential upset over ftu. >> and just to be clear, ftu is at 16 seed. perdue is a one seat on the in the history of history. >> back in 2018, beat uba by 28 points. that was the biggest shocker. the only other time that came close was princeton back in 1989 against georgetown. that was a very close match up. they only lost by one point in that one. >> i digress. thank you very much for being with us. best of luck to you. >> i am going to need it after our perdue game. >> next up, an entire hour of

attorney, mr berman in new york, who brought the case against michael cohen for a related crime.and if that was criminal, then you know individual a mentioned in that indictment of michael cohen should also at some point face consequences. well so there's two points of that. first of all, that is a decision for the u. s attorney's office to make you know the u. s attorney's office they had michael cohen signed a cooperation agreement. they went through all of this stuff with him. they had him in for several proper sessions, and they ultimately decided he was not credible enough for them to bring a case against anybody else, and he was sentenced without a five k letter cooperation letter. but the other point is this just because somebody has pleaded guilty to something as part of a cooperation agreement does not mean that other people committed that crime. i've had many clients acquitted based on the say so of a cooperating witness who pleaded guilty to something that judges or juries later said was not a crime. as you know better than i. this is not the only criminal investigatio

mr. gorshkovych from yekaterinburg, the journalist was brought to moscow to this court, but the lawyer was not admitted to it this is how the justice system was - says lawyer daniel berman, the lawyer was not included in some of the records, as far as i can remember, this is the first time since the cold war. when a western journalist is arrested in russia on charges of espionage, but this shows not only the level tensions between russia and the west, but also about moscow's determination to silence all criticism of russian journalists. moscow has been putting pressure on russian journalists for a long time, for example, the trial of mykhailo afanasyev took place this week. he wrote about the fact that the russian amon refuses to fight in ukraine, and last month maria ponomarenko was imprisoned for six years. pro-russian launches attacks on mariupol, now the american journalist is in custody and his case is under scrutiny. completely secret, the chances of being released are small, because in russian courts , more than 99% of verdicts are guilty even today with oleksandr lukashenko made an annual address to the people and the parliament. he spoke a lot about the war in
