In his first television interview since being fired, former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara talked about James Comey's Senate testimony, President Trump's tweets, and more. NY1's Lindsay Tuchman filed the following report.

Former United States Attorney for New York, Preet Bharara, was back in the spotlight Sunday, talking about the man who fired him on ABC's "This Week."

"To this day, I have no idea why I was fired," Bharara said on the show. "You know, it doesn't bother me. I'm living a great good life, very happily, but I have no idea."

Bharara said back in November that President Trump asked him to stay on as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Bharara had held the position since 2009 and oversaw numerous political and financial corruption cases.

But in March, he lost his job when the Trump administration asked all remaining prosecutors appointed by President Obama to resign.

Bharara refused, and he was then forced out.

Bharara weighed in Sunday on the Senate testimony of another man fired by the commander-in-chief: former FBI Director James Comey.

"You've got someone who has a reputation for probity, someone who has a reputation for telling the truth, someone who has contemporaneous notes on what happened in these meetings and in these conversations," Bharara said about Comey.

"On other hand, I think a lot of people will tell you that the president himself sometimes makes accusations that turn out not to be true — I think he seems to have done that in a tweet this morning," Bharara continued. "And when it comes down to who's telling the truth and who's not, I think most people will side reasonably with James Comey."

Bharara also said he thinks there's absolutely evidence the president obstructed justice in the investigation of his former national security advisor.

"If people think that the president of the United States can tell heads of law enforcement agencies — based on his own whim, or his own personal relationships or friendships — that they should or should not pursue particular criminal cases against individuals — that's not how America works," Bharara said Sunday.

Meantime, Bharara said in seven-and-a-half years he received zero phone calls from Barack Obama, but President Trump had called him three times since December. The former U.S. attorney said that he is unusual.

He said there should be an arms-length relationship between the president and those that are in a position to investigate him.
