In the span of fewer than 24 hours, people across the country have grown confused about Southern District of New York prosecutor Geoffrey Berman.
According to a statement released this past hour, Berman officially announced he will be stepping down from his post.
“In light of A. G. Barr’s decision to respect the normal operation of law and have Deputy U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss become Acting U.S. Attorney, I will be leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, effective immediately,” Berman said in a statement released Saturday.
