Ousted NY Prosecutor Tells Panel Barr 'Urged' Him to Resign

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - The ousted U.S. attorney who was leading investigations
   into President Donald Trump's allies told the House Judiciary panel on
   Thursday that Attorney General William Barr "repeatedly urged" him to
   resign during a hastily arranged meeting that sheds light on the
   extraordinary standoff surrounding his departure.

   Geoffrey Berman, the former federal prosecutor for the Southern
   District of New York, provided the committee with a detailed account
   behind closed doors of three days in June as he was pushed out,
   according to his opening statement, which was obtained by The
   Associated Press.
