okay. of course the president knows him. it stands to reason the he knows he has spoken out against the mueller investigation. he watches tv. he didn t know his entire history. that would require a white house staff that researched him. a little bit. that s what senior investigative correspondent has been doing. he reported on his ties to a company the federal trade commission shut down because it was running a sdam. tonight more about his past and time in iowa. when fired attorney general walked out of the department of justice and shook hands with the man who would take over at least temporarily. this iowa state senator was agast. initially i thought i can t think of a more ill qualified person to assume that role. based upon my experience with him. mat mccoy has a history with president trumps new acting attorney general. and it is not a good one.
in 2007, mccoy was a young, gay rising star. in iowa s democratic party. whittaker was the young conservative republican u.s. attorney. for the southern district of iowa. at the time you were in indicted, you were openly gay. the only openly gay legislator in the state of iowa. a democrat. you were a considered a rising star. do you think that s why you were targeted? absolutely. i believe that s why i was targeted. the federal indictment was brief. the u.s. attorney was accusing mccoy of attempted extortion by a public official. mccoy says it was a $2,000 business dispute with a private client who wouldn t pay a bill. those facts didn t matter to whittaker. who brought the full weight of the federal government against him. i believe it was a political prosecution. there s no doubt in my mind. 100% certain it was. here s all you need to know about the case.
the attorney office under his direction spent two years going after mccoy. using the fbi. a paid informant. secret recordings. a special prosecutor. and after two years, it took a jury minutes to reach a verdict. not guilty. that s correct. tifs acquitted within 20 minutes. whittaker was criticized heavily. reports asking why was mccoy prosecuted. asked sf the u.s. attorney case was misplaced or partisan politicking. this for most u.s. attorneys decision in court would have been embarrassing. yes. did he apologize to you. no. he never reached out to me. i have applied to be on the supreme court. his career sputtered after he left the u.s. attorney office in 2009. he tried and failed to become a iowa supreme court justice.
