Bharara: 'Donald Trump is not out of legal jeopardy'
By Zack Budryk - 03/24/19 10:45 AM EDT



Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara cautioned Sunday that President Trump is “not out of legal jeopardy” with the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

“People shouldn’t be taking victory laps or jumping off bridges” because Mueller ended his investigation without recommending further indictments, Bharara said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Bharara, who served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York before being fired by the president, reminded host Dana Bash that state and federal investigations into matters such as Trump’s inaugural committee and charitable foundation remain open.

The Manhattan-based prosecutors were seeking virtually every piece of documentation related to the inaugural's donors, vendors and finances.

The subpoena, which was signed by Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, disclosed that prosecutors are investigating a broad array of potential crimes related to the inauguration's business conduct: conspiracy against the US, false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, inaugural committee disclosure violations and violations of laws prohibiting contributions by foreign nations and contributions in the name of another person, also known as straw donors.

This is strange, since Berman had previously recused in the Cohen investigation. Also, the subpoena and investigation was in February, meaning it was either approved by Whitaker or Barr.
