Bernie Kerik

Former New York Police Department Commissioner; the person who, in 2018, introduced John Kiriakou to Rudy Giuliani for what became Giuliani's $2 million pardon-extortion attempt.

Bernard “Bernie” Kerik is a former New York Police Department Commissioner. In John Kiriakou’s account, Kerik had emailed him not long after his release from prison to propose a joint college-campus speaking tour, an idea Kiriakou welcomed but which never came to anything. [1]

Kiriakou says that in 2018, when he decided to seek a pardon from Trump, he emailed Kerik knowing Kerik was still in touch with Rudy Giuliani, and Kerik connected him to Giuliani’s associate — an introduction that culminated in Giuliani’s $2 million pardon-extortion attempt at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
