In the Oval Office just now I asked if he had any thoughts on the legacy on John McCain. He heard me but did not answer.
SCOOP: ABC News has learned Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is recused from the Michael Cohen investigation. He had no role in raid of Cohen's office. Another recusal that will make unhappy.
