Donald Trump has put the remaining US lawyers set up by the previous administration in an apparent move to push out Joe Biden’s political appointees who may resist guiding prosecutors’ decisions. He said he had instructed the Department of Justice to be fired.
“I directed the end of all remaining “Biden-era” US lawyers,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post Tuesday. “We must quickly ‘clean the house’ and restore confidence. In America’s golden age, there must be a fair justice system. It starts today! ”
The firing of US lawyers after a change in administration is typical, but the Trump administration was extraordinarily aggressive in pushing for a full-scale mass shooting, rather than asking for resignation shortly after the new president took office. .
He also works as Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondy and acting Associate Attorney General Emil Bove, he will implement the administration’s political agenda at the Justice Department and vision of a unified enforcement theory in which the president will direct all cabinet-level institutions. It has now been implemented. .
Recently, Bove promoted the firing of a corruption case against New York City mayor Eric Adams, and reviewed the case by Trump Pick to run the US, as it is the second official to oversee daily operations. I’ll be waiting. Manhattan’s lawyers’ office has been confirmed by the Senate.
The Trump administration has seen crackdowns on illegal immigrants as a top priority after becoming a central issue in the 2024 election, and Bove’s memo in the Adams case stated that the deportation of undocumented immigrants He revealed that he supported the mayor who wanted to support him and pursued criminal charges.
Even before Trump’s latest post last week, the administration began taking steps to remove around 20 holdover US lawyers from 93 offices nationwide, sending layoff notices from the White House, and government mobile phones I have disconnected access to my phone and computer.
The end notice is a sudden, one-letter email, “I am writing to let you know in the direction of President Donald J. Trump that your position as a US lawyer has ended and is in effect soon .”
However, not all the remaining US lawyers received the email first. This is because the White House Presidential Office has sent some to an internal email address that only accepts messages from other Department of Justice employees.
That is, some of the US lawyers, the top law enforcement officers of each federal district, lost access to their mobile phones and systems until the Department of Justice headquarters became clear in a few days, and then they were removed. It means that you left a guess. I said.
