The Trump administration moved Friday night to nominate Securities and Exchange Commissioner Jay Clayton to the position of U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, saying Berman was resigning his position.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr discusses a Trump administration executive order on the International Criminal Court during a joint news conference at the State Department in Washington, June 11, 2020.Attorney General William Barr told the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, Geoffrey Berman, that he is fired in a letter Saturday amid a power struggle over who will fill one of the most important federal law enforcement positions in the nation.
Berman's office is investigating Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and obtained a conviction of the president's previous personal attorney, Michael Cohen, for financial crimes. I was surprised and quite disappointed by the press statement you released last night. As we discussed, I wanted the opportunity to choose a distinguished New York lawyer, Jay Clayton, to nominate as United States Attorney and was hoping for your cooperation to facilitate a smooth transition.
Can't wait to see him walk out the door, it will happens as soon as he has the balls to say NO to Trump. Lets hope he grows some dignity by November.
Bye bye 👋
I thought it was Billions the series trying to be like real-life not the other way around
power struggle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In reading Barr's letter he cites case law that says the 'President may...remove'. Trump has just stated publicly 'I am not involved'. If that is the case, then Berman still has the job until Trump, himself, fires him...not Barr, who has NO AUTHORITY to do so, right?! BERMAN
Mason dance
Amen! The staff of CNBC must be pissed! They just don’t know why they are pissed. Here’s a theory...
Mind you this is a pro-trump guy investigating cases Trump wants to go away. A guy who donated to Trumps campaign. A Republican.
Love it!!
Barr, Sr., Epstein, Trump, Prince Andrew ImpeachBarr organizedcrime the Tulsa rally is a planned distraction.
Berman should have been fired a long time ago.
Barr tried to tell him.. You serve at the pleasure of the President.
NYGovCuomo What kind of bulldozing is going on We can't allow this especially to those on our turf.
I think this will be the guy to bring Trump to his knees.
I don’t think that realDonaldTrump or Barr will be able to squash this upcoming memoir publishing 😁
There is no more checks and balances. Think how brazen Trump and Barr and S Miller and the gang would be if they were to have 4 more years with nothing to lose and no campaign to worry about. Vote against them or be ready for a revolt.

Ok now GTFO👋
He can do that.
Will this lawless and corrupt Republican BS at the highest levels of our governenment ever come to an end?
There was no power struggle. He served at the pleasure and instead he tried to serve hinself
Drain the swamp!
The Senate needs to do their job and get rid of BARR.
Bye
Barr and Trump should both be punished to the fullest extent allowed under law for their treason. BananaRepublic
Berman is hiding evidence from Epstein and Podesta's cases. Bye Felicia

CROOKS running
About time. Cry libs cry.
This is why trump wants chaos in OK... it will distract from the firing of Berman event
Trump and Barr need to be impeached. Our country has been taken over by a crime syndicate.
Gotta protect the crime family.
Law and order?
Berman is corrupt af. He should have stepped away quietly. Now they should drag him through his own mud.
Love leaning into the GOP with Pence puff pieces and then these headlines that fail to speak to the unprecedented corruption & manipulation of the TheJusticeDept. AG Barr is in breach of his Constitutional duties, let alone being a supplicant, sycophant, & feeble clown.
Lock down the evidence and files!!!
Good!!
berman needs to release everything, F*k it, do exactly what they think you’re gonna do, flip out! Expose all those MFers
Didn’t see that coming.🙄
Finally at least he is not all talk. Just 99 percent talk.
On the bright side, the entire world is now aware that SDNY was on to something. Moron Barr should have let sleeping dogs lie.
He couldn’t take a hint
Are we living in the Soviet Union?! WTF BarrMustGo
And thats that... everyone has a boss
