Robert Khuzami, the federal prosecutor who oversaw the case against President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen, will step down from his role as top deputy in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, the office announced on Friday.

 

Khuzami assumed oversight of the case against Cohen, who has pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, lying to Congress and other federal crimes, after U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman recused himself from the case.

 

Khuzami will be replaced as Deputy U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York by Audrey Strauss, who has been serving as senior counsel to the U.S. Attorney, the office said. Strauss previously worked as a prosecutor in the office from 1976 to 1983, before a career in private practice, including stints at law firms and as chief legal officer for Alcoa Inc.
