Solomon Louis Wisenberg (born June 8, 1954) is an American lawyer, legal analyst, and former chief of the Financial Institution Fraud Unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas.
[1] Wisenberg was a frequent commentator on legal issues related to the investigation of Donald Trump's presidential campaign by Special Counsel Robert Mueller that resulted in a finding of insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
[2][3][4][5] Wisenberg studied at the University of Texas Law School and clerked with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
"[13] By mid-1998, Wisenberg and the rest of the Starr team were facing accusations of partisanship for pursuing the Lewinsky sex scandal as part of an investigation that had primarily begun as an inquiry into financial improprieties and potential corruption.
Since the launch of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in May 2017, Wisenberg has made numerous media appearances on NBC, Fox News, MSNBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, PBS, and in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and other national publications.
[22] He did conclude that Cohen's testimony may have increased Trump's legal exposure by indicating that he has provided purposely inaccurate financial information to lending institutions and the Internal Revenue Service.
