Ex-US Attorney Bharara: Everyone Should Be 'Troubled' By Comey Firing

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who was fired by Donald Trump, is now sounding the alarm over the president's dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.

The New York Daily News reported that after Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr R-N.C., took to Twitter to express concern about the timing of Comey's termination, Bharara added:

EVERYONE who cares about independence & rule of law in America should be "troubled by the timing and reasoning" of Comey firing. Period. https://t.co/nAFX0OnuvH

Trump removed Bharara as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York in March, CNBC noted.
