Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik Interviewed by Justice Department in Investigation of Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik met with Justice Department prosecutors on Monday as part of their investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Kerik, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, worked with Rudy Giuliani to confirm baseless allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Kerik’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, confirmed that the interview focused on efforts by Giuliani, who was previously an attorney for former President Donald Trump, to prove allegations of election fraud in seven states. Parlatore also noted that special counsel Jack Smith was not present during the interview.

Kerik is the first witness publicly known to have been interviewed by the DOJ since Trump’s indictment last week for his role in the scheme to undo Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 race. The interview lasted for about five hours and focused on the events between the election and January 6th.

The Justice Department’s investigation into the efforts to overturn the 2020 election is ongoing. It is unclear if Kerik will face any charges in connection with the investigation. However, his meeting with prosecutors is a sign that the investigation is continuing and that more witnesses may be called in the future.
