US Atty for SDNY Geoffrey Berman was fired. The news came as a shock tonight. Sources close to him & DOJ official say AG Barr offered him other positions including head of Civil Division at main justice and Berman declined.

Dude, he was moved into that position by the simple minded Sessions, no doubt compliantly and submissively following the recommendation of Rod Rosenstein.

BREAKING / NBC News: In a statement U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman says “I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning.”

He says he found out he was “stepping down” by reading it in a press release.
