White House lawyers wrote a confidential memo expressing concern about Trump’s staff lying in public re Flynn's firing – that Spicer had overstated the thoroughness of the WH inquiry of Flynn & falsely claimed WH lawyers concluded there were no legal issues re Flynn’s conduct.
ICYMI: Berman was Giuliani's law partner at Greenberg Traurig [who represent Kushner money laundering biz partner, Steinmetz; Trump money laundering biz partner, Arif; Flynn-linked Turkish money launderer Zarrab] and has expensive ties to Deutsche Bank.
