Sunday talk show preview: Preet Bharara has first TV interview since Trump fired him

Published



Fresh off hearing ousted FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, Preet Bharara will appear in his first television interview, Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” since being fired as former U.S. attorney by President Trump.

Bharara has been a vocal critic of the president since he and 46 other U.S. attorneys were let go by the Trump administration in March. He sent out a live-tweet during the Comey hearing on Thursday, which he attended, responding to Comey saying at one point about possible recordings of his private conversation with Trump, “Lordy, I hope there are tapes!” Bharara then took to Twitter to interject his own one-liner: “We can all agree with Jim Comey that, Lordy, we hope there are tapes.”
