The Trump administration on Saturday fired the top federal prosecutor
in Manhattan, escalating tensions with the high-profile office that has
overseen numerous investigations into President Donald Trump’s allies.
Attorney General William Barr said Trump personally issued the order;
the president denied he was involved.
The extraordinary clash between the White House and
U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman fueled new accusations of political
interference in the Justice Department, particularly given that Berman’s
office is engaged in an ongoing investigation into Trump’s personal
attorney, Rudy Giuliani.
Barr set off a whirlwind chain events on Friday night with a surprise announcement that Berman was resigning.
