Trump tried to interfere in probe of Turkish-Iranian gold trader – report

U.S. President Donald Trump sought to interfere in a legal case against a gold trader accused of breaching sanctions on Iran, urging then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to persuade the Justice Department to drop the matter, Bloomberg reported.

Turkish-Iranian gold trader Reza Zarrab, accused of using fictitious trades worth billions of dollars to circumvent U.S. sanctions on Iran, was a client of Rudi Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer. Bloomberg cited three people familiar with a 2017 meeting at the Oval Office at which Trump made the request to Tillerson.

Zarrab, who enjoyed close ties to top Turkish politicians and bankers, later turned state-witness in a trial on the same charges as Mehmet Hakan Atilla, a senior banker at Turkey’s state-run Halkbank. The trial, which ended in Atilla’s conviction, sparked outrage among senior Turkish figures including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and a diplomatic crisis with Washington.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
