Assemblymember Sepulveda on firing of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara


  I am perplexed that after assurances from President Trump that he wanted Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to remain, that he was asked to resign - and was ultimately fired.
 Something is afoul here. With Wall Street and corporate America now basically the mainstay of the Trump administration, I have to wonder if there is a connection to dismissing a prosecutor who has been the scourge of Wall Street, big banks and corporations.
 
Assemblyman Sepulveda represents the 87th Assembly District covering Parkchester, Castle Hill, West Farms, Van Nest and Stratton Park.
