Geoffrey Berman, the powerful US attorney for the Southern District of New York who has investigated a number of associates with ties to President Trump, said he will not leave his post shortly after the Department of Justice announced he was stepping down
In an extraordinary statement, Berman said he learned of his exit from a press release."I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the Judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate," Berman said."Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption.
Last fall, Justice Department officials discussed replacing Berman with Ed O'Callaghan, a senior official, but then prosecutors indicted the Giuliani associates, a move that appeared to extend Berman's tenure.The timing of the move, announced shortly before 10 p.m. ET, immediately raised questions about the circumstances regarding Berman's departure.
