Комиссия Палаты представителей по разведке наняла Даниэла Голдмана для помощи в расследовании Рашагейта.

Representative Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, has hired a veteran prosecutor with experience fighting Russian organized crime to lead his investigation of the Trump Administration. Last month, according to a committee source, Daniel Goldman, who served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York from 2007 to 2017, joined the committee’s staff as a senior adviser and the director of investigations

В биографии Голдмана говорится:

From 2012 to 2014, Daniel served as Deputy Chief of the Organized Crime Unit and was responsible for overseeing a wide variety of prosecutions, including traditional organized crime, international organized crime, human trafficking, and white collar crime. As a supervisor, Daniel oversaw a significant international Russian Organized Crime prosecution against more than 30 defendants for racketeering, gambling, and money laundering. During his 10 years at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Daniel prosecuted a variety of cases, including a number of securities fraud cases; RICO, securities fraud and health care fraud convictions against a number of individuals associated with Russian Organized Crime; and a racketeering and murder conviction against the Acting Boss of the Genovese Crime Family and other members and associates of the Genovese Crime Family.

Под "significant international Russian Organized Crime prosecution" по всей видимости имеется в виду дело Тринчера-Тайванчика, над которым Голдман работал под руководством Прита Бхарара.

На сайте Минюста имя Голдмана упоминается в 2014 в связи с делом Даниэла Пагано из семейства Дженовезе.

Пагано работал связным между итальянской и русской мафией и признался в том, что участвовал в подготовке заказного убийство Мони Эльсона, которое он, однако, отказался исполнить.

Palumbo enlisted Johnny Balls for the Elson job, the sources said. With help from Palumbo and Zilber, Johnny Balls used a pretext to lure Elson to a Bronx social club where the killing would be carried out. As a kind of practice exercise, Elson was brought up to the Bronx to see how it went. The Russian didn’t appear to suspect a thing.
“The dry run went smoothly; they joked, ‘We should have just done it,’” said one source familiar with debriefings that Leto, who has been a turncoat for two years now, has had about the Elson plot with prosecutors and FBI agents in the case. The reason they didn’t go through with the hit, the sources say, is that Palumbo was awaiting approval from his mob supervisor at the time, capo Daniel Pagano.
That didn’t go as well. When Pagano, who was earning a penny for every gallon of gasoline on which his Russian gangster partners were stealing the federal excise taxes, was told of the plot, he put a quick end to it. “What are you nuts?” Pagano is alleged to have responded. “No fucking way. If you do this, we’ll have a major problem with the Russians.”
