Robert S. Khuzami, the lead federal prosecutor in the criminal case against longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, will step down next month, The New York Times reported Friday. His departure as a senior prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, which is expected to be announced Friday, “is for personal reasons and unrelated to any political pressure” from his investigation into Cohen. Audrey Strauss will be appointed to replace Khuzami as deputy United States attorney, the newspaper reports.
