Bernie Nussbaum, who served as counsel to President Bill Clinton and who was a senior member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee’s staff for President Richard Nixon’s impeachment, has died, according to an announcement from the Federal Bar Council. He was 84.
“Bernie epitomized the essence of the Federal Bar Council,” council president Jonathan Moses wrote in a statement to members of the organization. “A strong believer in professionalism and good relations among lawyers, no matter on what side of the ‘v’ they found themselves and no matter their political views.”
