(Reuters)Days after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, he summoned Preet Bharara to Trump Tower. [New York federal prosecutor Preet Bharara says he was fired by Trump administration]Three months later, Bharara is suddenly out of a job, part of an ouster of 46 U.S. attorneys appointed by President Barack Obama. In the early days of the presidential primary race, Bharara told CNBC he would do his job “forever if I could.”“I mean, look — I care about public service. I care about honest government,” Bharara told MSNBC’s Ari Melber in 2015. “As I joked, they’ve finally gotten over the fact that their Indian American son didn’t become a doctor,” Bharara told Melber.
