Robert S. Khuzami, a senior federal prosecutor in Manhattan who oversaw the criminal case against Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, will step down next month. Mr. Khuzami’s departure, announced on Friday by Geoffrey S. Berman, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, comes even as his office’s investigation into Mr. Trump’s inner circle continues on multiple fronts. Mr. Berman will appoint his senior counsel, Audrey Strauss, to replace Mr. Khuzami as deputy United States attorney. A public face of investigations that pose potential threats to Mr. Trump’s presidency, Mr. Khuzami, 62, has told colleagues that his departure is for personal reasons and unrelated to any political pressure. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/nyregion/robert-khuzami-prosecutor-michael-cohen.html
