Barry Berke, the white-collar defense lawyer who advised House Democrats in their effort to remove President Donald Trump from office, has returned to Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, the firm said Wednesday.
The announcement comes just over a year after the House Judiciary Committee's Democratic majority said that it had brought on Berke and famed Washington, D.C., ethics lawyer Norm Eisen to advise on the impeachment fight. The firm said Berke will resume his role as co-chairman of Kramer Levin's litigation department.
