Trump orders DOJ to terminate all remaining ‘Biden Era’ US attorneys: ‘We must clean house’
President Trump on Tuesday announced that he instructed the Justice Department to terminate all US attorneys appointed under the Biden administration – claiming the federal agency has been “politicized like never before.”
Trump, 78, who has repeatedly argued former President Joe Biden “weaponized” the DOJ to bring federal charges against him, said his latest slew of firings will restore confidence in the justice system.
“Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before,” the commander in chief wrote in a Truth Social post.
