The Trump Organization is demanding that the House Judiciary Committee stop investigating the company, arguing that the congressional probes have been irreparably tainted.
In a letter to Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Trump Organization attorney Alan Futerfas said the committees decision to hire Barry Berke as a legal consultant violates ethics rules because Berkes firm has long represented the Trump Organization. In the strongly worded letter, Futerfas demanded that Nadler fire Berke and that the chairman turn over Berkes communications with the Judiciary panel.
Your Special Oversight Counsel and long-time Kramer Levin partner and litigation co-Chair, Barry H. Berke, is ethically conflicted from representing or advising the Committee, the letter states, and demands "that the committee cease and desist from all probes.
Nadler did not respond for a request for comment.
