BREAKING: Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who investigated Trump associates, abruptly steps down. on.msnbc.com/37JYrid
Berman's resignation wasn't expected and word of the move caught officials in his office off guard. His office prosecuted Michael Cohen—though he was recused from involvement in the case. And he was overseeing the investigation of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani's business activities.
Attorney General Barr says the president will nominate Jay Clayton, the current chairman of the SEC, to succeed Berman.
JUST IN: Berman: "I learned in a press release from the Attorney General tonight that I was 'stepping down' ... I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning ... our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption."
LATEST:

House Judiciary Cmte. Chairman Nadler: "America is right to expect the worst of Bill Barr, who has repeatedly interfered in criminal investigations on Trump’s behalf. We have a hearing on this topic on Wednesday. We welcome Mr. Berman’s testimony and will invite him to testify."
