Trump Fires All ‘Biden-Era’ Attorneys
THE NEWS
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he has fired every remaining U.S. attorney appointed under former President Joe Biden, citing “unprecedented politicization” at the Justice Department (DOJ).
Several Biden appointees had already resigned in recent days, while others were given immediate termination notices.
Critics claim Trump’s move raises concerns about political interference in federal law enforcement, while administration supporters view it as part of a promised overhaul to restore “confidence” in the justice system.
TIMELINE

- Last Week: White House issues termination notices to Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys.
- Monday: Several U.S. attorneys announce resignations ahead of forced departures.
- Tuesday: Trump confirms all remaining Biden-era U.S. attorneys have been fired, effective immediately.
REACTIONS

Erek Barron (Former U.S. Attorney, District of Maryland): Expresses pride in serving a “talented and dedicated team” in his farewell email.
Critics: Warn that Trump’s mass firings could undermine nonpartisan law enforcement, echoing concerns about alleged political interference.
