The tweet follows President Trump's statement on Wednesday that he would not have appointed Jeff Sessions as attorney general if he had known he would recuse himself from investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The president also criticized Rosenstein, who had recommended that FBI Director James Comey be fired but also appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to lead the Justice Department's Russia investigation.

Bharara, whose Twitter bio reads "Banned by Putin, fired by Trump," was asked to resign from his position in the Southern District of New York by Trump in March and has since been a vocal critic of the administration.
