Former Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who was ousted last month by President Trump, told lawmakers that Attorney General William Barr repeatedly pressured him to step down voluntarily and warned him that being fired would hurt his career and future job prospects.
In testimony Thursday during a closed-door hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Mr. Berman described a tense meeting with Mr. Barr at the Pierre Hotel in New York, where he was called with little explanation, according to a copy of Mr. Berman’s opening...
Black lives matter. Racism is a disease and it is a crime.All should be treated the same irrespective of their color or religion. Any racist in the police should be eradicated.
Barr is totally corrupt. This blatant manipulation in service of the CriminalInChief is 100% against all American ideals and rule of law. He should be removed.
Well that conversation would be recorded.. I assume Mr Berman has hired an attorney and is ready to be sued?
Why hadn’t he arrested Ghislane during his time?
Truth be told,,,lawmakers can’t do it
This guy is a career Republican who could have easily stepped down and taken some cushy job. Instead, he is testifying before Congress about AG Barr's sycophanticism and corruption with little to gain. I believe him.
Funny how Maxwell is found after Berman was gone...
Big deal stick to the markets
He was a political appointee.
PRESIDENTIAL HARRASSMENT!!
Barr offered Berman SEC chair. Only president can appoint. TRUMP IS BEHIND THIS ❗️❗️❗️
For those of you who don’t know, Geoffrey Berman was a huge Trump supporter and donor in 2016. But so was $1 million donor Ambassador Gordon David Sondland. After FOX is through with him he will be Hillary Clinton’s lover.
Barr was right.
That was good advice.
No good deed goes unpunished ... by the media.
Berman serves at the pleasure of the president. Obama fired every Bush US Attorney.
Bully Barr. This is what he does. Total ahole.
Zzzzzz
So what?
Too important to be fired I guess.
Boss fires employee. Hold the Presses
jdirt2004 So Berman was given multiple chances to step down quietly before he was publicly, and legally fired?
F OFF SWAMP.
I guess he shouldn't have been dragging things out so...
Harassment. Bring charges.
Real world comes knocking
Whining now won't help!!
Hey WSJ, try this for news
