The senior federal prosecutor in Atlanta has left his position, a day after an audio recording was made public in which Donald Trump called him a “never-Trumper”.

Byung J “BJay” Pak, who was appointed by Mr Trump, announced his resignation as US attorney for the Northern District of Georgia in a news release. The statement did not say why he was leaving or what he plans to do next.
