Summary
The office, older than the Justice Department itself, has been home to famous mob trials, terrorism prosecutions and, increasingly, probes involving Trump’s allies.“It shows that the Trump administration cannot fully protect the president’s former associates from federal criminal prosecution simply by firing U.S. attorneys like Geoffrey Berman who honor their responsibility to seek impartial justice,” said Green, who now directs the Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics at the Fordham University School of Law.Green said in June that Berman’s firing “certainly wasn’t a routine decision, and the only fair inference is that there are some cases where the office is proceeding too independently.” The charges against Bannon came as Trump himself faced renewed legal perils, as a federal judge rejected Trump’s latest bid to shield his tax returns from a state grand jury investigation led by the Manhattan district attorney.
