NEW YORK—Preet Bharara won’t say whether he was investigating President Donald Trump when he was fired in March or whether he’s seen anything that’s informed his view of whether the president or anyone close to him colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election. He deflects comment on whether he thinks the president should be impeached or indicted.
Bharara’s main office is at his brother’s tech firm, where he has rediscovered himself as a podcast host, taking the media prowess he cultivated in office to the other side of the table. He clearly can’t stand Trump. But he stays careful, downplaying the level of expert insight he has into the special counsel’s investigation and the prospect of more charges.
