| Megathread: Attorney General Barr says Trump fires top Manhattan prosecutor; Trump distances himself from the move telling reporters the decision "was all up to the attorney general." Posted: 20 Jun 2020 02:18 PM PDT Speaking to reporters as he left the White House for a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trump said Berman's firing was a matter for Barr and was not his 'department.' Berman's termination marks another remarkable development in an escalating crisis at the Justice Department that started on Friday night, when Barr unexpectedly announced that Berman was stepping down and would be replaced by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton.
