US Justice Department Fires Officials Involved in Prosecutions Against Trump
ai generated text
Multiple articles have reported that Attorney General James McHenry has fired more than a dozen federal prosecutors who worked on the cases against former President Donald Trump. This move is seen as a break with federal norms, as it targets career prosecutors for actions taken under a previous administration.
The claim from [Trump] that my decisions as a prosecutor were influenced or directed by the Biden administration or other political actors is, in a word, laughable.
In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President's agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.
Firing prosecutors because of cases they were assigned to work on is just unacceptable.
