Lawmakers clash over Trump’s talks with Whitaker - POLITICO
[h=1]Lawmakers clash over Trump’s talks with Whitaker[/h]
Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that he was involved in conversations about the Justice Department’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, according to the panel’s chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).
But the Republican side of the committee gave vastly different accounts of what happened behind closed doors. Whitaker discussed the scope of the investigation in addition to the recusal of Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Nadler told reporters after meeting privately with Whitaker.

Matthew Whitaker can possibly be in a heap of trouble if it's proven that he lied to Congress denying any conversations between himself and Trump about the ongoing investigations in the SDNY and denied ever speaking to Trump about Michael Cohen.
