Yes Trump said he was not involved in the decision to replace him but when Barr's authority was challenged by Berman, Trump supported him according to Barr's statement. Trump obviously does not want to be directly linked to the firing ........
Berman, according to ABC in its national news just issued a statement that he was leaving effective immediately.
But Trump has not directly stated that he fired Barr. We just take Barr’s word for it? And why is Barr given carte blanche to make decisions for the President? Why can’t the president clarify his involvement? Oh wait! He did! He said he’s not involved.

If the ABC news report is accurate, Berman has accepted that his firing is a done deal. I've been trying to find the statement that Berman has issued about leaving office. It was breaking news according to the reporter who announced it on the national news ...... he was reading from the statement.
Barr made the decision to replace Berman and when Berman challenged it, he obviously went to Trump who backed him up. It was still Barr's initial decision/recommendation.
Berman realized the gig was up and he issued a statement saying he was leaving.
Adding to the confusion, Trump distanced himself from the move to oust U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman, telling reporters the decision “was all up to the attorney general." Nevertheless, Berman said he continues to fight his removal.
The Deputy routinely fills in as acting US attorney.
