The New York Daily News reports:

Akassy billed himself on his website as an “acclaimed interviewer” who “engages America’s best thinkers, writers, politicians, athletes, entertainers, business leaders, scientists and other newsmakers.”

“Would you be surprised to hear that Charlie Rose’s description of his own program is very much like yours?” prosecutor Jessica Troy asked during cross examination.
