Attorney General William Barr said Saturday that at his request, President Donald Trump has fired acting Manhattan US attorney Geoffrey Berman.
"Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so," Barr wrote. "I was surprised and disappointed by the press statement you released last night," Barr said in a letter to Berman on Saturday. "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."
In the interim, Barr said Audrey Strauss, the deputy US attorney for the Southern District of New York, will serve as acting US attorney until the Senate confirms a successor. Under Berman's tenure, the SDNY conducted or is conducting multiple investigations into Trump associates and other interests linked to the president.
Every Senate Republican needs to be replaced for allowing a corrupt president to fire anyone who investigates anything he does.
obstruction of justice, much?
Now I know who Barr reminds me of. The resemblance is uncanny.
New American Dream.
Who is going fire Trump; oh yeah Trump will fire Trump.
Nobody can refuse to step down...
