House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated Wednesday that his committee “may very well†move to impeach Attorney General William Barr after he advised for Geoff Berman, the US. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be removed from his post.
“We’re looking into that, we may very well,†Nadler told reporters when asked about a possible impeachment inquiry into Barr. “I think the weight of the evidence and of what’s happened leads to that conclusion.â€
On Friday, the Department of Justice announced that Berman was resigning as Manhattan’s top prosecutor. Shortly thereafter, Berman issued a statement saying he had no intention of leaving his post.
However, Berman still showed up to work on Saturday, telling reporters: “I’m just here to do my job.â€
Hours later, Barr wrote a letter to Berman revealing that President Donald Trump had fired him at his request.
“Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service,†Barr told Berman.
