Donald Trump’s administration fires top US prosecutor Preet Bharara

A prominent US prosecutor said he was fired by the Trump administration after refusing to step down.

New York US Attorney Preet Bharara’s defiant exit, first announced on Twitter, raised questions about President Donald Trump’s ability to fill top jobs throughout his government.

Mr Trump has yet to put forward any candidates to serve as the nation’s 93 district attorneys, but his Justice Department asked the 46 who have not yet quit to hand in their resignations on Friday.
