In a new book entitled “Holding the Line,” Berman said he was repeatedly pressured by Justice Department officials to use his office to aid them politically, including by investigating former Secretary of State John Kerry. Berman wrote in his upcoming book, due to be published Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022, that he mostly resisted the pressure from Washington, according to the The New York Times.
