Daniel Sachs Goldman is a trial attorney and legal analyst serving as majority counsel in the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.
Early life and family
Goldman was born the son of Susan (née Sachs) and Richard W. Goldman. His father was a federal prosecutor in Washington D.C. who died when Goldman was a child. His paternal grandparents were Rhoda Haas Goldman and Richard Goldman; his great-grandfather was Walter A. Haas, president of Levi Strauss & Co.; and his great great-grandfather was Abraham Haas the founder of the Smart & Final chain of food stores. His brother, Bill Goldman, died at the age of 38 in a plane crash. Goldman is a graduate of the Sidwell Friends School in Washington D.C. where his mother previously served as chairman. Goldman graduated with a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from Stanford School of Law.
Career
From 2007 to 2017, Goldman was an assistant United States attorney in Southern District of New York under Preet Bharara. He prosecuted Genovese crime family mobsters, including Fotios Geas, in 2011. Goldman was also selected in 2017 to prosecute Billy Walters for insider trading because of what another assistant United States attorney, Brooke Cucinella, described as having "swagger as a trial lawyer". After leaving the Southern District, Goldman became a legal analyst for NBC and an opinion contributor to The Daily Beast.
He was hired as general counsel for the House Intelligence Committee in March 2019 and later joined the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. Goldman questioned witnesses on behalf of the majority during the public hearings in the Intelligence Committee. On December 9, 2019, he provided testimony at the public hearing of the House Judiciary Committee.
Personal life
Goldman has married twice. In 2002, he married Olympic diver and Canada native, Anne Montminy; they divorced in 2004. In 2013, he married Corinne Levy. They have had five children as of 2019.
