THE LAST CHAPTER?
Barr now says that it was Trump, not Barr, who fired Berman. The White House then confirmed that.
But Barr then made a significant concession: Berman would not be succeeded by the NJ US Attorney, as Barr originally announced. Instead, Barr now assured Berman that his deputy, Audrey Strauss, would head the office until a successor is confirmed by the Senate.
Strauss is a highly regarded professional and earns praise not only from Berman but from the NJ US Atty as well. Berman said under those circumstances, he would be happy to go, and did.
Strauss is likely to head the office well past the election. Unless Graham reverses his position, Clayton is toast in the Senate. He may even be toast without the NY Senators' veto.
What caused this eruption from the White House?
I don't have a clue. Hope it's big!
A bientot.
