WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General William Barr has told the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan that President Donald Trump has removed him from the job. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman intends to continue to fight his removal.
The powerful prosecutor in the Southern District of New York had been overseeing investigations of Trump’s allies.
He showed up to work Saturday morning, telling reporters, “I’m just here to do my job.” Late Friday, Barr announced that Berman had resigned, but Berman denied it, saying media reports were the first he’d heard of it.
