Trump, at Erdogan's behest, directing Barr, Mnuchin, and Pompeo to intervene in a federal investigation of Turkish bank, Halkbank's massive scheme to evade sanctions on Iran, because it might implicate Erdogan––seems illegal, right, @Delavegalaw, @Mimirocah1, @JoyceWhiteVance?
@Delavegalaw @Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance In an Apr, after Trump told Erdogan that Barr & Mnuchin would handle SDNY, no action had been taken against Halkbank for its scheme to evade Iran sanctions––until last week when Trump needed to save face with GOP after getting rolled by Erdogan over Syria.
@Delavegalaw @Mimirocah1 @JoyceWhiteVance In 2017, Giuliani pressed Tillerson to help stop the US prosecution of Turkish Iranian trader, Reza Zarrab [linked to Halkbank].

"It’s unclear why Giuliani's championing causes of such importance to Erdogan as he's not registered as a foreign lobbyist."
