Bernie Kerik was part of the team led by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani trying to uncover fraud that would swing the election in favor of Trump. For months Kerik had tried to shield some of the documents from investigators citing privilege. But in recent weeks Kerik gave the documents to the Trumps campaign to review. After that review the campaign declined to assert privilege according to Keriks lawyer Tim Parlatore. Kerik is scheduled to sit down for an interview with the special counsels office next month has learned. Among the materials now in Smiths possession are witness statements research and other documents produced by Giulianis team. When the January congressional committee subpoenaed Kerik for documents he provided a log of his communications that he said he was withholding due to privilege. Those communications have never been disclosed publicly as the committee did not challenge Kerik privilege claims in court. I have shared all of these documents approximately MB mostly pdfs with the Special Counsel and look forward to sitting down with them in about weeks to discuss. Those documents have not been previously disclosed to investigators looking into events surrounding January. The documents have been turned over to Smiths office on Sunday. They include materials that havent been previously disclosure to investigators. The materials have been mostly MB mostly PDFs. They have been handed over to Jack Smith on Sunday and he is expected to discuss them with Kerik in the next few weeks. He has also turned over thousands of documents to special counsel Jack Smith related to efforts to find supposed voter fraud in the presidential election including materials that were not previously disclosed. The material has been provided by Kerik to the Special Prosecutor’s office. It has not been disclosed that Kerik will sit down with Smith next month to discuss the documents he has turned over. It is not known if the documents will be released to the public or to the press. They are expected to be released in the coming days. They will be made public if they are made public by the special prosecutor’s office in the near future. They were provided to Kerik by the Trump campaign in response to a subpoena from a congressional committee in January for documents related to the 2016 presidential election. It was not clear if Kerik would be able to give the documents back to the congressional committee or if they would have to be kept under wraps until the end of the investigation. The campaign has not yet commented on the documents that have been provided to the specialProsecutor’S office. The information has been made public in the hope that it will shed light on the circumstances surrounding the January presidential election and the events that led to it. It will also be made clear that the documents were not provided under privilege by the campaign in the first place. The investigation is ongoing and the documents are not expected to become public in any way at this time. The special prosecutor has not commented on whether he will be interviewing Kerik or other members of the Trump team in connection with the investigation into the alleged voter fraud claims.
