As Manhattan's top federal prosecutor, Preet Bharara cultivated an image as a lawman above politics. No more.

In the three months since he was fired by President Donald Trump, the former Southern District U.S. attorney has lashed out at the Republican administration in speeches and on Twitter. He's also jabbed at the president of Turkey, called one GOP congressman a “fool,” and said if another were an immigrant, he would face deportation.

With the constraints of a law enforcement job gone, Bharara has found a more political voice for himself, especially online. He has already been approached by Democrats who want him to run for elected office as soon as next year.
