Berman told the House Judiciary Committee in July that Barr had repeatedly urged him to resign before his fall.

« The attorney general said if I did not step down from my position I would be fired, » Berman told the panel. « He added that being fired from my job would not be good for my resume or future job prospects. I told him I wouldn’t resign even though I didn’t want to be fired. «

James Wareham, the firm’s global litigation chairman, said Berman is « one of the most respected prosecutors in the United States, » adding that his expertise « will be seamlessly carried over into his new role. ”
