i wanted to put out my first book, disloyal, from the very beginning when we see people like jeffrey berman foolishly acknowledging he wase■ being pressured by maine justice to do what to go after michael cohen. you ll find as i ve said a thousand times, there was no tax evasion. i ve never been audited in my life, e■right? and there was no heloc violation. that s nonsense. i didn t takee1 out the heloc f i had the e■f■heloc on properti for almost 20 years. so, look, a lot of the things that they get clip bates on and the attacks on me,e■ it reallyf dreaming it was really hard for me to stayx■ focused and willing to participate in this. 23 times i have met with the district attorney s office all i can say is this is an important day for america and it s a very important day for the department of you know, for justice and also for accountability. w3■ichael,t(■don t go anywhe. it is just after 6 gí■y■in the east we are encroaching into ari melber s ho
