Rep. Harriet Hageman<\/a> (R-WY) launched a vehement critique against Rep. Dan Goldman<\/a> (D-NY), highlighting what she referred to as a glaring conflict of interest involving his interactions with Michael Cohen and financial ties to the daughter of the judge presiding over the Trump trial.<\/p>\n The subcommittee convened on Wednesday to delve into allegations of lawfare tactics being employed to manipulate legal systems against political adversaries, including the witch hunt against former President Trump.<\/p>\n During the hearing, Rep. Hageman did not mince words: \u201cIt seems like there might be a dog in this hunt on the other side. What you need to understand is that Mr. Goldman, the novice representative from New York, actually does have a personal stake in this case. He has been involved with the Bragg case, helping to prepare Mr. Cohen for his testimony. So, he is quite closely aligned with an admitted and convicted liar and perjurer.\u201d<\/p>\n The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported on Tuesday that Rep. Goldman, a loyal supporter of Joe Biden, had several preparatory meetings with Cohen before his testimony in\u00a0the sham Biden\/Bragg trial.<\/p>\n In a striking admission on MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe, Rep. Goldman disclosed his extensive prep work with Cohen: \u201cI have deposed Michael Cohen. I have met with him a number of times to prepare him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201c[Michael Cohen] is an admitted perjurer. He is an admitted liar. He has testified inconsistently on the stand, so he\u2019s either lying one time or the other, and he will be really skewered on cross-examination for,\u201d Goldman added.<\/p>\n Cohen, a convicted perjurer, has been at the center of legal controversies involving Trump, including allegations of hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. Despite recognizing Cohen\u2019s checkered credibility, Goldman has continued his association with him, leading to suspicions that he may be attempting to manipulate Cohen\u2019s narrative against Trump.<\/p>\n Rep. Hageman further highlighted the financial ties between Goldman and the judge\u2019s daughter\u2019s firm, questioning the impartiality required in such sensitive proceedings. \u201cHe\u2019s also paid the Judge Merchan\u2019s daughter\u2019s firm over $150,000 for her services. So I think we\u2019ve got quite a conflict of interest from Mr. Dan Goldman,\u201d Hageman said.<\/p>\n Laura Loomer\u00a0pointed out that<\/a>\u00a0\u201cDemocrat NY Congressman who helped prepare Michael Cohen for his anti-Trump testimony is a client of Judge Merchan\u2019s daughter\u2019s Democrat political consulting company Authentic Campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n Spectrum News<\/a>\u00a0reported, \u201cLoren Merchan is president of Authentic Campaigns, which has collected at least $70 million in payments from Democratic candidates and causes since she helped found the company in 2018, records show.\u201d<\/p>\n Loomer added, \u201cRep. Dan Goldman is a client of Loren Merchan\u2019s Democrat consulting firm, Authentic Campaigns. Why is a member of Congress meeting with a felon who committed perjury? This is a MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and Judge Merchan needs to immediately RECUSE HIMSELF from overseeing the Trump trial!\u201d<\/p>\n Credit: Authentic Campaign However, Rep. Hageman didn\u2019t stop there. The representative also blasted so-called Rep. Stacey Plaskett<\/a>, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, who worked for Epstein\u2019s tax and political fixer.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd just one other thing to keep in mind when considering the hostility from the folks on the other side of this aisle is that the ranking member of this particular committee was Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s fixer,\u201d Hageman added.<\/p>\n WATCH:<\/p>\n Harriet for the win! pic.twitter.com\/nz6V84Zf1T<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Karli Bonne\u2019 (@KarluskaP) May 15, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Lee Fang<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett, a representative of the U.S. Virgin Islands in Congress, has distanced herself from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she was completely \u201cunaware\u201d of his donations. However, recent court filings shed light on a much closer relationship between Plaskett and Epstein than previously known.<\/p>\n The unsealed documents outline a decade-long association involving direct solicitations for money, personal meetings, and employment at a law firm deeply connected to Epstein\u2019s shadowy network.<\/p>\n Plaskett not only repeatedly sought financial contributions from Epstein and had multiple face-to-face encounters with him, but she also worked directly for a St. Thomas-based law firm that played a role in cultivating influence for Epstein\u2019s clandestine activities.<\/p>\n In a\u00a0deposition<\/a>\u00a0last month, Plaskett disclosed that she was introduced to Epstein by Erika Kellerhals, an attorney who lobbied on his behalf and represented his business and philanthropic ventures. Kellerhals\u2019s significance goes beyond a casual connection. Before Plaskett\u2019s congressional tenure, she worked at Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC, the boutique tax firm in the Virgin Islands from 2013 to 2014, a period in which Epstein was a major client.<\/p>\n Plaskett\u2019s involvement with Epstein may extend further back, as she previously served as counsel on the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority (EDA), which granted Epstein $300 million in allegedly improperly obtained tax exemptions over the course of two decades.<\/p>\n Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Conflict of Interest?
