Former U.S. Attorneys Morgenthau and Bharara Linked to High‑Profile Fraud and Political Prosecutions

Former U.S. Attorneys Morgenthau and Bharara Linked to High‑Profile Fraud and Political Prosecutions The passage outlines a pattern of aggressive prosecution of corporate fraud by Morgenthau and later Bharara, and hints at possible political motivations behind Bharara's dismissal. It mentions specific officials (Sheldon Silver, Dean Skelos, Andrew Cuomo) and a potential link to Trump, offering concrete names and institutional contexts for follow‑up, but provides no new evidence of wrongdoing or financial transactions. Key insights: Morgenthau shifted DOJ focus from small scams to CEOs and their enablers.; Bharara prosecuted New York political figures (Silver, Skelos) and referenced the Moreland Commission tied to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.; Bharara was reportedly less aggressive on Wall Street, preferring insider‑trading cases.
