Then why would he have asked him to stay on? Elijah Cummings is a loon. Actually, while there is no evidence that Bharara is investigating Trump for anything, what Cummings leaves out is that Bharara is investigating the Clinton Foundation, a case which hopefully continues to go forward.
Via Daily Caller:
Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos that there may be a connection between the dismissal of former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara and investigations into President Donald Trump.
As U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York (SDNY), all of New York City fell within Bharara’s jurisdiction, leaving him with a sweeping investigative and prosecutorial portfolio. Many of President Trump’s sprawling business interests are based in SDNY, under the watchful eye of a (now former) U.S. attorney whose political aspirations are nearly as famous as his high-profile prosecutions.
