The top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who had investigated several of Donald Trump’s associates and his company’s business dealings was fired by the president, Attorney General William Barr said in a letter.
Trump removed Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, on Saturday after Berman made clear he wouldn’t step down from his position.

“I learned in a press release from the Attorney General tonight that I was ‘stepping down’ as United States Attorney. I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position,” Berman said Friday.
