More like the other way round. Maybe a last desperate attempt to stop the arrest.
But imo Berman was sacked because Trump wanted to replace him with a guy from NJ, who once had Deutsche bank among his clients. NB - the SDNY is currently investigating Trump and Deutsche for money laundering.
Berman refused to step back, and reached an agreement with Barr - he left, but Barr had to replace him with Strauss (for the time being), his former deputy.
