Barry Berke confirmed to CNN on Friday he has left the committee, and a source familiar with the matter told the outlet that Norm Eisen is expected to depart soon as well.

"I am very proud to have worked with Chairman Nadler, the remarkable members of the Committee, the incredible House managers and the supremely talented and dedicated staff who fight for our country every day," he said.

Berke and Eisen were both hired as consultants for the judiciary panel in February 2019 and served as senior advisers to Nadler, the chairman of the committee. Their departures are expected now that the impeachment trial has concluded.

The Judiciary Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Berke is a high-profile New York criminal defense attorney and partner at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel. Eisen co-founded the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and served as special counsel for ethics and government reform in the Obama administration.
