US Attorney General dismisses Trump's aide to investigate illegal donation investigation June 21 15:45
The federal prosecutor, who has been investigating illegal donations by an aide of President Trump in the United States, has been dismissed. The opposition Democratic Party is accusing the government of "unjust judicial intervention by the government."
The US Attorney General Barr issued a statement yesterday on Federal Attorney Berman in Southern New York, saying he had "requested the president to be dismissed and executed."
Federal Attorney Berman also announced in a statement yesterday that he would step down.
Attorney General Barr had announced the dismissal of Federal Attorney General Berman on the 19th of the previous day, but Mr. Berman initially refused to resign as he first learned from the press release.
Regarding this, President Trump told reporters in the White House that "I am not involved in the decision made by Attorney General Barr."
Federal Attorney Berman led the investigation into the alleged illegal donation and tax evasion over President Trump's aide, guilty former counsel Mr. Cohen, and charged two businessmen allegedly involved in the Ukrainian allegations. In addition, it is reported that he was recently conducting an investigation over the former New York City Mayor Giuliani.
The opposition Democratic Party is strongly oppositioning that it is "unjust judicial intervention by the government," and the House of Representatives Judge Nadler has announced that he will hold a hearing with Mr. Berman on the 24th of this month. The ruling opposition party's confrontation over the dismissal is likely to intensify.
