Preet Bharara, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan known for pursuing a series of cases targeting public corruption and crime on Wall Street, said on Wednesday he agreed to remain in his post under U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

Bharara, who was appointed to his position by Democratic President Barack Obama in 2009, told reporters following a meeting at Trump Tower that Trump had asked him to stay on during his administration and he had accepted.
