U.S. President Donald Trump has directed the Justice Department to dismiss all remaining U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Joe Biden, claiming the department had been “politicized like never before.”
“We must 'clean house' IMMEDIATELY and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System – THAT BEGINS TODAY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The Justice Department has yet to comment. Last week, the White House issued termination notices to several Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys. On Monday, some announced their resignations, while others had already left.
Although transitions between administrations typically lead to U.S. attorneys resigning, legal experts note that issuing termination letters is unusual. U.S. attorneys, who oversee federal law enforcement in their districts, usually exit in a more structured process.
Trump, who took office last month, has already overseen major Justice Department shake-ups. Dozens of career officials, including those in Washington and New York, have either resigned or been dismissed.
During his campaign, Trump vowed to end what he described as the “weaponization” of the Justice Department, which he believes was used against him while he was out of office. His latest move reinforces that commitment as he seeks to reshape federal law enforcement under his leadership.
