President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice to dismiss all remaining US attorneys from the Biden administration, citing politicization of the agency. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence in America’s Golden Age Justice System.” This move, while standard practice during transitions, has sparked controversy as Trump has fired career prosecutors involved in cases against him. Several Biden-appointed US attorneys have also announced their resignations. Trump has accused the Biden administration of weaponizing the DOJ against him during the 2024 election, vowing to restore the agency. The White House has confirmed the termination of these US attorneys, effective immediately. This development comes after Trump fired career prosecutors and staff involved in investigations against him. The reshuffling of US attorneys reflects ongoing tensions within the DOJ under different administrations.
