President Trump appeared to contradict Attorney General William Barr and distance himself from the firing of U.S, Attorney Geoffrey Berman today, saying he was “not involved,” the New York Times reports.
The Washington Post says Trump told reporters that Berman’s ouster was “all up to the attorney general” and that he hadn’t become involved in the matter.
Said Trump: “That’s his department, not my department. But we have a very capable attorney general, so that’s really up to him.”
