President Trump has fired US Attorney Geoffrey Berman after the powerful prosecutor refused to step down, Attorney General Barr says in a letter
"Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service," Barr said in his letter to Berman."Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so."But Trump said Saturday he wasn't involved with the decision."Well, that's all up to the attorney general.
" On Friday evening, Barr said he intends to nominate as Berman's permanent successor Jay Clayton, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who has never been a prosecutor.
