New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said he was “caught off guard” after Bharara, known for crusading against public corruption, was forced out of office. “I was extremely surprised and disappointed,” Schumer said.
“The president’s decision to change his mind and fire Preet says far more about the president than it does about Preet,” Schumer said. Schumer would not speculate on why Bharara, who previously served as Schumer’s general counsel, was fired.
“He did an amazing job in so many different areas,” Schumer said. “He will be sorely missed.”
As was the case in prior transitions, many of the United States Attorneys nominated by the previous administration already have left the Department of Justice.
So what was the issue here? Caught off Guard?
