A U.S. attorney who refused to step down from his role after being replaced has been fired by President Donald Trump, according to Attorney General William Barr.
Barr told U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) Geoffrey Berman in a letter on Saturday that he had asked the president to fire Berman following Berman’s declaration that he had no intention of resigning, against the Trump administration’s wishes.
