Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was informed in advance that President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen planned to plead guilty to lying to Congress about the timeline of his work on the development of a Trump Tower in Russia, The Washington Post reported.
As acting head of the Justice Department, Whitaker currently oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign. Despite his public comments as a private citizen slamming the investigation, Whitaker has not yet taken any action to curb Mueller’s efforts.
It was not clear how Whitaker reacted to news of Cohen’s guilty plea, the Post reported. While Justice Department policy requires the attorney general be informed of “major developments” in investigations, the attorney general does not have to sign off on those developments, the Post noted.
Which means Dotard got it 1.3 nanoseconds later…
Informed in advance. Just as Cohen was entering the courtroom.
It’s good that Whitaker was already bald, otherwise he would be shedding like a Husky in Jamaica, caught between Donny Little-hands and charges of obstruction of justice .
