Preet Bharara is plotting his revenge
New York Post ^ | March 19, 2017 | By Aaron Short

Preet Bharara is ready for his close-up.

Bharara — who was dismissed as Manhattan US attorney last weekend when he refused a Trump administration order to ­resign — is angling for a TV gig that could help launch a run for elected office, a source told The Post.

“He’s trying to be a liberal Bill O’Reilly,” the source claimed.

Bharara, 48, could be hoping to land a news show on CNN or MSNBC, “a half-investigative reporting, half Larry King-type show, [where] he can be the special correspondent.”

But in the short-term, Bharara is looking to appear on CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” — to prove he’s camera-ready, the source said.

“Preet really wants to do Colbert,” the source said. “He thinks Stephen’s really funny and that it’s a way to audition for a gig, where executives will take notice and say, ‘We should give this guy a show. . ."

4. Dalya’s Father Is a Muslim & Jewish Mother

Dalya’s father is a Muslim and his mother is a Jewish, Miami Diario reported.

Preet described in an interview his family’s heritage. He joked that with the diversity in religions and different traditions that come with them, he is never hungry.

Four different families of four different voices – half a century ago, all had to flee because of their religion. When my wife fasts for Yom Kippur or my father-in-law fasts in Ramadan, I am stuffed all day with samosa (a kind of pie).

The New York Times reported in 2009 that Dalya’s father moved from India to Pakistan and lost his home after the 1947 violent migration. Her mother was born in Palestine after her father — Dalya’s grandfather — escaped Nazi Germany.
