A top federal prosecutor has issued a statement saying he has not resigned, despite the United States Justice Department revealing he was stepping down.
Geoffrey Berman, the US Lawyer in Manhattan, said he discovered he was “stepping down” in a press release issued by US Attorney-General William Barr on Friday evening.
Mr Barr provided no reason for the relocation.
Mr Berman has overseen the prosecution of a variety of President Donald Trump’s partners during his time in workplace.
They include President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen who has actually served a jail sentence for lying to Congress and campaign financing fr
