Preet BhararaAt long last, there’s an answer to this blog’s question last month wanting to know who is working as Counsel for Sen. Charles Schumer (Dem. - N.Y.) on the Senate Judiciary Committe.

Schumer’s legal point man is sure to be busy prepping a list of questions that his boss can use to grill U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales next week at the Senate Judiciary Committee’s April 17, 2007 hearing.

Bharara is a graduate of Harvard College and an alumnus of the private Ranney School in New Jersey.
