Dems Call On U.S. Attorney To Testify After Barr Tries To Fire Him In The Middle Of Trump Probes
Democrats were quick late Friday to call on Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of New York, to testify before Congress next week.
The push comes after Attorney General William Barr sought to illegally fire Berman, even as he is in the middle of prosecuting and investigating some of Donald Trumps crooked associates.
America is right to expect the worst of Bill Barr, who has repeatedly interfered in criminal investigations on Trumps behalf, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said in a Friday night tweet. We have a hearing on this topic on Wednesday. We welcome Mr. Bermans testimony and will invite him to testify.
No reason has been provided as to why the Trump-Barr Justice Department sought to oust Berman, but it certainly doesnt appear to be an accident.

(8,049 posts)1. Berman probably won't agree to testify.
As bad as he might want to.

(51,092 posts)3. I agree. He's still working.
Wouldn't be able to disclose anything about ongoing cases.
Testimony would be limited to details surrounding finding out through a press release that he was supposedly stepping down.
Maybe answering questions about whether Barr and his goons or trump making requests for info on ongoing cases or requests to stop ongoing cases or investigations.
