US Attorney Geoffrey Berman Denies Resignation.
US
Attorney Geoffrey Berman is behind inquiries into Donald Trump's allies refuses
to resign from the post regardless of the William Bar announcement. According to
Barr, Berman has stepped down, and this is a fact that is denied by the leading the attorney who was involved in the investigation of Rudy Giuliani and Michael
Cohen.
William
Barr US Attorney general announced the Resignation on this Friday, June 19th,
2020, of Berman, who administers key prosecutions of Trump besides the
investigation of Rudy Giuliani but seems like it appeared the attorney had some
other ideas.

Geoffrey
Berman said he didn't resign and have no intention of resigning sooner or
later. Moreover, he added that he learned his apparent departure as an attorney
for the south of NYC from a justice dept. Press release.
After a
short time, Berman fired off his own statement by denying Barr's announcement.
He said, "I have heard from a press release of Attorney General that I am
resigning, but this is not true as I was appointed by the judges of the US the district court, I will only step down if a presidentially appointed nominee got
confirmation by the senate."
A
senior Justice Department official said that the department has pressed forward
with these plans and will have Craig Carpenito, a US attorney in New Jersey,
temporarily take over the office starting on July 3rd. This official was not
allowed to speak publicly about the matter and spoke to AP on anonymity
condition. The democrats are repetitively accusing the Trump justice department
of political interferences, and those concerns have been pervasive some files
and ranks in the agency, whereas the House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry
Nadler said that his committee had invited Geoffrey Berman to give evidence
next week.
Federal
prosecutors have overseen various prosecutions and investigations in New York
with ties to Trump in recent years. There is an ongoing investigation into
Giuliani business dealing, whether he failed to register as a foreign officer,
according to some people familiar with the probe. And the people are not
authorized in discussing the investigation in public and spoke on obscurity.
The office also has a number of prosecutions associating Donald Trump, including
former personal lawyer of Trump and fixer Michael Cohen who served a prison
sentence due to lying to Congress and campaign finance crimes.
Berman
has also gone through the prosecution of two businessmen from Florida; Lev
Parnas and Igor Fruman, who were associates of Giuliani and connected with the
Ukraine impeachment investigation. They were charged in October with violating
federal campaign finance rules, including hiding the origin of 325,000 USD
donation to that group supporting Donald Trump's reelection. Attention refocused
on southern district including AP got copies of Bolton's to tell-all book,
where he alleged that Trump sought to cut a deal to stop federal prosecutors
from investigations violating US sanctions against Iran to free American
minister in turkey.
Six
weeks after that pastor release Bolton writes that talking to the president,
"Donald Trump told Tayyip Erdogan would take care of the mishappenings
explaining that the district prosecutor was not his people, but they belonged
to Obama; a problem which must be fixed when they would be replaced by his
people." Geoffrey Berman was appointed by Jeff by then-Attorney general in
2018 after Preet Bharara, who was the US attorney in the US, was fired. Bharara
also refused to resign, along with dozens of other federal prosecutors
appointed by Barack Obama.
This
April, the judges in Manhattan federal court voted to appoint Berman in the
absence of a formal nomination by Trump to the position permanently. But the
white house never asked why Trump didn't officially nominate Berman.
But the
links between the white house and Berman investigations are clear enough, and
his office subpoenaed the inaugural committee for ample documents presented in
the investigation in multiple crimes, including an illegal contribution from
foreigners to inaugural events.
