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 87^th Assembly District covering Parkchester, Castle Hill, West Farms, Van Nest and Stratton Park.
