Congressman Dan Goldman is an attorney who, before running for office, served as lead counsel in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump and as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York. He has written about, and provided expert analysis on, significant topics ranging from criminal justice reform to the Special Counsel’s investigation. In law school, Goldman contributed to Michelle Alexander’s seminal book, The New Jim Crow, which addresses the inequalities in our criminal justice system.
As lead counsel in the first impeachment of Donald Trump, Goldman directed the strategy of the investigation and led the closed depositions and questioning of witnesses during the Intelligence Committee’s open hearings. He oversaw the drafting and publication of the Select Committee’s 300-page report on the investigation, ‘The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report’, which exhaustively detailed Trump’s efforts to extort Ukraine for his personal benefit. Goldman also presented the Report in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. Finally, he served as lead counsel for the House Impeachment Managers during the Senate trial of Donald Trump.
During his 10-year tenure as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York, Goldman focused on organized crime and white collar prosecutions, representing the United States in all phases of the federal criminal process, from investigation through appeal. Goldman conducted and supervised hundreds of investigations involving racketeering, murder, money laundering, gun trafficking, firearms, narcotics, extortion and loansharking offenses, securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, health care fraud, tax fraud, and other white collar crime.
From 2012 to 2014, Goldman was Deputy Chief of the Organized Crime Unit. From 2014 to 2017, he served as Senior Trial Counsel in the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, during which time he prosecuted and convicted Billy Walters, a well-known sports gambler, for insider trading.
Goldman has also provided expert legal analysis on network and cable television, and was a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice in 2019.
Goldman has worked extensively with organizations dedicated to increasing opportunity and bolstering democracy, including LIFT Communities, the American Constitution Society, the Center for the Advancement of Public Integrity at Columbia Law School, Stanford Law School, and the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs at Yale University, among others.
Goldman currently resides in lower Manhattan with his wife, Corinne, and their five children, who attend school in both the Manhattan and Brooklyn portions of the 10th District. He is a graduate of Yale College (B.A. 1998) and Stanford Law School (J.D. with distinction 2005). He clerked for the Hon. Charles R. Breyer in the Northern District of California and Robert D. Sack in the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Daniel Sachs Goldman (born February 26, 1976)[1][2] is an American attorney, politician, and heir; he is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York’s 10th congressional district. A politically progressive[3][4] member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the lead majority counsel in the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump and lead counsel to House Managers in Trump’s impeachment trial which was also in 2019.[5][6] Goldman is among the wealthiest members of Congress, with an estimated personal net worth of up to $253 million according to financial disclosure forms.[7] Goldman was born in Washington, D. C., to Susan (née Sachs) and Richard W. Goldman.[8] His father was a federal prosecutor in Washington, D. C., who died when Goldman was a child.[8] His paternal grandparents were Rhoda Haas Goldman and Richard Goldman;[8] his great-grandfather was Walter A. Haas, president of Levi Strauss & Co. His great-great-grandfather was Abraham Haas, the founder of the Smart & Final chain of food stores. He grew up in a Conservative Jewish family[9] with his younger brother Bill Goldman, who died at age 38 in a plane crash in Sonoma, California,[10] as well as his sister Alice Reiter.[11] Daniel is an heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. fortune.[7] Daniel Goldman attended Sidwell Friends School in Washington D.C, where his mother previously served as chair of the board.[8] He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Yale University in 1998[12] and a Juris Doctor degree with distinction from Stanford Law School in 2005.[8][13] Before law school, he was an Olympics researcher and a writer for NBC Sports.[8] After graduating from law school, Goldman clerked for Charles Breyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and Robert D. Sack of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.[14] From 2007 to 2017, Goldman was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York under Preet Bharara.[5][15] He prosecuted Russian organized crime, Genovese crime family mobsters, including Fotios Geas, who murdered Whitey Bulger while in prison, and a variety of white-collar crime and securities fraud.[5] In 2017, Goldman was the lead prosecutor of Billy Walters, a sports bettor who was convicted for insider trading.[5] After leaving the Southern District, Goldman became a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC[16] and a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice in New York. Goldman was hired as Senior Advisor and Director of Investigations for the House Intelligence Committee in February 2019 and later became the lead counsel for the first impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.[5] He questioned witnesses on behalf of the majority during the House Intelligence Committee‘s public hearings. On December 9, 2019, he provided testimony at the public hearing of the House Judiciary Committee.[17] On November 16, 2021, Goldman announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for attorney general of New York in the 2022 election.[18] When incumbent Letitia James ended her campaign for governor in December and opted to run for reelection, Goldman withdrew and endorsed James.[19] On June 1, 2022, Goldman announced his candidacy for United States Congress in New York’s 10th district.[20] A July 14 poll by Data for Progress indicated Goldman had 12% of support, behind Councilwoman Carlina Rivera‘s 17% and Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou‘s 14% in the crowded Democratic primary, which also included incumbent congressman Mondaire Jones and former congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman.[21] An internal poll conducted between July 22 and 26 showed Goldman leading the race with 18% of support, followed by Niou with 16% and Rivera with 14%.[22] Goldman has been endorsed by New York State Assemblymember Robert Carroll[23] and Brian A. Cunningham,[24] former U.S. Representative Steve Israel,[25] former Lieutenant Governor of New York Richard Ravitch[25] and The New York Times.[26] He received a backhanded endorsement from Donald Trump, who called him “very compassionate and compromising to those within the Republican Party”, which Goldman’s campaign rejected as a “pathetic attempt at fooling Democrats”.[27][28] Goldman raised more than $1.2 million from more than 2,100 individual contributions in the month after he declared his candidacy.[29] He received the maximum allowable campaign contributions from billionaire real estate developers Douglas Durst and Stephen M. Ross.[30] Ross was also a major fundraiser and supporter of Trump.[31] As of August 17, 2022, Goldman had contributed more than $4 million to his own campaign, leading rivals to accuse him of attempting to “purchase this congressional seat”.[32] His campaign hired a Republican campaign consultant who supported Trump in the 2020 presidential election and called Representative Maxine Waters “retarded” over her support for Trump’s impeachment to perform voter outreach to Orthodox Jewish voters in Borough Park, Brooklyn.[33] Goldman’s campaign immediately fired the consultant and clarified that they were “unaware of these grossly offensive remarks” when City & State contacted them for comment.[33] Goldman’s financial disclosures indicate he has a line of credit from Goldman Sachs worth up to $50 million in addition to investments in weapons manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, oil companies Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and Halliburton, and Rupert Murdoch‘s Fox Corporation & News Corp.[34] Goldman’s campaign said he will put his assets into a blind trust if elected and that he is no longer invested in Sturm, Ruger & Co.[35] He narrowly won the Democratic nomination in the crowded primary, receiving 16,686 votes (25.8%).[36] He won the general election against Republican nominee Benine Hamdan with 83.9% of the vote.[36] On January 10, 2023, Goldman and Representative Ritchie Torres delivered an ethics complaint to the office of Representative George Santos, who is embattled by revelations that he lied about most of his résumé and background.[37] Goldman has introduced seven bills in his first year in Congress: the Early Voting Act, the African Burial Ground International Memorial Museum and Educational Center Act, the Strengthening Medicaid for Serious Mental Illness Act, the Immigration Court Efficiency and Children’s Court Act of 2023, the Disarming Cartels Act, the Codifying SAVE Plan Act, and the GRADUATE Act.[38] Goldman is a member of the Vote Blue Coalition, a progressive group and federal PAC created to support Democrats in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania through voter outreach and mobilization efforts.[39] Goldman accused the 45th US president Donald Trump of “inflammatory rhetoric”, and stated that Trump is “destructive to democracy” and “has to be eliminated”. After Goldman’s inflammatory call for the elimination of Trump caused a backlash from conservatives, he clarified that the word “eliminate” was a wrong term to describe what Goldman wants to be done to Trump: ““Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again”. Goldman has said he believes abortion is a health-care decision that “should be made between an individual and their doctor”.[43] He drew significant backlash and criticism when he revealed support for abortion restrictions, and said he would not object to a state law barring abortion after a fetus is considered viable.[44] He clarified in the same interview that his personal views on abortion are secondary to the right of a woman to choose.[44] In June 2023, Goldman and Congresswoman Judy Chu led more than 50 lawmakers in pressing Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and other major American pharmacies to sell the abortion pill, mifepristone.[45] In July, Goldman called the Dobbs decision “one of the very worst opinions that the Supreme Court has ever issued on both a legal and factual basis”.[46] Goldman supports increasing the national minimum wage, universal child care, and paid family leave.[47] He supports promoting business development, and requiring corporations to pay their fair share to “increase opportunity for all Americans”.[47] Goldman was one of the 46 Democrats who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.[48] Goldman said in his 2022 campaign that he supports the principles and goals of a Green New Deal to transition to clean energy and has called climate change an “existential threat“. He supports public–private partnerships to incentivize private companies to invest in renewable energy.[49] Goldman supports the two-state solution.[50] He opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, calling it a “thinly-veiled demonstration of antisemitism.”[50] He voted to support Israel following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.[51][52] In 2024, he signed an open-letter expressing “disgust” at South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice charging Israel with operating with intent to commit genocide in Gaza.[53] Goldman believes Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens Ukraine‘s sovereignty, international order, and democracy globally. He is in favor of U.S. aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia.[54] In 2023, Goldman voted against H.Con.Res. 21, which directed President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.[55][56] Goldman supports democracy in Taiwan, but opposed Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s August 2022 visit to Taiwan and concurred with the Biden Administration‘s assessment of the risks, citing intelligence and diplomatic concerns.[57] Goldman believes healthcare is a fundamental right and supports a public option and private health insurance.[58] He is one of over 100 cosponsors of Medicare for All.[59] Goldman supports “public–private partnerships” to combat New York City’s lack of affordable housing. He supports construction by private real estate developers, fully funding NYCHA, and allocating federal dollars for private firms to update and manage properties NYCHA owns.[60] Goldman opposes expanding the Supreme Court of the United States and said it is “antidemocratic” during a candidate forum.[61] He expressed support for implementing term limits on Supreme Court Justices in an interview with New York Magazine.[62] Goldman supports passing the Equality Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.[63] He said he had never marched in an LGBTQ Pride parade until 2022, saying his work as a federal prosecutor prevented him from doing so, in response to a questionnaire from the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club.[64] He drew criticisms and accusations of using the LGBTQ community as a “political football” when it was revealed his explanation contradicted the guidelines and restrictions issued by the Department of Justice, which states employees may “attend political rallies and meetings.”[64] In fact, the Department of Justice has its own employee-run “DOJ Pride.”[64] Goldman has married twice. In 2002, he married Olympic diver and lawyer Anne Montminy; she is from Montreal.[1] They divorced in 2008,[better source needed] after having two children.[8] In 2013, he married Corinne Levy; they have three children.[8] Education
