"White House terminates top federal prosecutors amid DOJ, FBI purge
Numerous U.S. attorneys announced their departures during a period of extreme upheaval at the Justice Department, an institution long criticized by Trump.
WASHINGTON — The White House terminated multiple U.S. attorneys Wednesday evening amid a period of upheaval at the Justice Department initiated by President Donald Trump, who was himself a criminal defendant in two separate federal cases until they were dropped after his election in November.
The full extent of the terminations was not clear Thursday morning. The White House did not respond to a request for comment, and a Justice Department spokesman could not immediately provide a figure for how many of the country's 93 U.S. attorneys in federal court districts across the country were affected.
The remaining U.S. attorneys who were nominated by former President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate were expected to leave at some point, but their immediate terminations by the White House were a departure from history. In the past, politically appointed U.S. attorneys had been asked to resign by the Justice Department."
