Bharara Considered Taping Phone Call With Trump

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara told MSNBC that he considered taping a phone call with President Trump after the president made an “odd” request of him.

Said Bharara: “We actually considered—and it sounds not as crazy as it did back then cause now we know about Michael Cohen recording the president, and Omarosa recording the president—we considered taping the president in that phone call.”

Bharara also said he believed that Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein was “not joking” when he suggested wearing a recording device to secretly tape Trump when he visited the White House.
