President Trump's legal problems increasingly involve one of the most powerful U.S. Attorney's offices in the world.

The prosecutors with jurisdiction over Trump Tower and everything in Manhattan, SDNY.

It's the office which indicted Michael Cohen and is probing if the National Enquirer illegally boosted the Trump campaign.

Americans are learning more about this office, but as a litigious New Yorker, Trump has long

known about it, hiring a former SDNY chief for his Russia defense, Giuliani, and Trump zeroed in

on the SDNY chief who was in the job when Trump took office, Preet Bharara. The only U.S.

attorney summoned a Trump tower during the transition, where Trump personally asked him to stay in

office and then called him repeatedly.

Barrara so uncomfortable with that potential pressure, he stopped returning the calls, and Trump

fired him later, along with 46 other prosecutors from the Obama administration.

It was during that Obama era that Barrara gave us a rare look inside

the famed SDNY office, and we spoke about his team, interrogating mobsters, indicting gangs,

terrorists, bankers, and politicians. No one is above the law. Our unfinished fight against

public corruption continues. You should stay tuned. How common is corruption in New York? It seems downright pervasive.

To stop possible ongoing fraud, to encourage other potential victims to come forward,

and to protect client assets.

Pre-Barr, not only was he staff aide to Senator Schumer.

He was confirmed unanimously as the U.S. attorney here in New York City.

And now something has happened, and apparently he's out.

In addition to Prit Bharara's reputation for aggression in prosecuting public corruption,

it may be that his jurisdiction here matters.

Priy Barara, the former chief prosecutor at SDNY, joins me now. We're going to get into all of it
