Next Stop for Preet Bharara, Fired Prosecutor? His Brother’s Media Firm
By SYDNEY EMBERJUNE 25, 2017
Since Preet Bharara, the former United States attorney in Manhattan, was abruptly fired
in March by President Trump, speculation has swirled about what he would do next.
Mr. Bharara also expects to write articles for Some Spider’s news
and entertainment website, Cafe, and he and Vinit Bharara plan to introduce a conference, Cafe Con, next year.
Vinit Bharara, 45, said he projected that Some Spider would have more than $12 million in revenue this year and double that next year.
So joining an upstart media company and hosting a podcast might not seem the next logical step in Mr. Bharara’s career.
As the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York for more than seven years,
Preet Bharara, 48, was perhaps the most powerful federal prosecutor in the country.
He will also host a podcast called “Stay Tuned With Preet.” (The phrase “Stay Tuned” will sound familiar to anyone who attended his news conferences.)
