The president stated that the move was necessary to restore a ‘fair justice system’ in the country.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to terminate all U.S. attorneys appointed during the former Biden administration.
Trump stated that the move was necessary to restore a “fair justice system” in the country.
“Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys. We must “clean house” IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence,” he said. “America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System – THAT BEGINS TODAY!”
It is common for U.S. attorneys to resign when there is a change in administration. However, department lawyers said the incoming administration would typically request their resignations rather than issuing termination letters.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the DOJ for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
