In his effort to purge the federal government of political corruption, President Donald Trump is firing all prosecutors hired by his predecessor. On Tuesday evening, Trump announced via Truth Social that he is dismissing U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Joe Biden. “Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before,” Trump began. He continued, “Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys. We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence.” The president added, “America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System—THAT BEGINS TODAY!” According to a report from Reuters, U.S. attorneys were informed last week that they were being dismissed. Trent Morse, Trump’s deputy director for the Office of Presidential Personnel, sent an email Thursday to Biden administration prosecutors, saying, “At the direction of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as U.S. Attorney is terminated, effective immediately.” In comments to The Washington Stand, Article III Project Founder and Trump legal ally Mike Davis explained, “President Trump had to fire every remaining Biden-era U.S. attorney to remove partisan political actors from the justice system.” He added, “For too long, the DOJ was weaponized against half of the country. That changed yesterday. Good riddance.” Already, Trump has begun staffing U.S. attorneys’ offices across the country with his own nominees. For example, Edward R. Martin, Jr. has been appointed as Trump’s U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Martin’s predecessor in the role, Matthew M. Graves, enacted a host of prosecutions against Jan. 6 protestors but largely refused to prosecute rising crimes in D.C. During his tenure, Graves declined to prosecute 67% of crimes in the nation’s capital, including 72% of misdemeanor crimes and 53% of felony arrests. Martin, meanwhile, served as a defense attorney for many of the Jan. 6 protestors targeted by Graves. Upon taking office, Martin fired over two dozen federal prosecutors involved in Jan. 6 cases and implemented a hiring and promotions freeze on the office. The move comes as Trump’s U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi attempts to ensure that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is prepared to act on the president’s agenda, instead of hampering him. Upon taking office, Bondi reminded all DOJ prosecutors that their responsibilities are not only “aggressively enforcing criminal laws passed by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions on behalf of the United States against legal challenges.” She continued, “The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys with respect to those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election.” “When Justice Department attorneys refuse to faithfully carry out their role by, for example, refusing to advance good-faith arguments or declining to sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the president of the benefit of his lawyers,” Bondi clarified. She warned that “any Justice Department attorney who declines to sign a brief, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Trump administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Justice Department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination.” Bondi also announced the formation of a “Weaponization Working Group” dedicated to examining instances of the Justice Department’s weaponization against Americans, including Jan. 6 prosecutions, the weaponization of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against pro-life Americans, the targeting of American Catholics, and the political prosecutions carried out against Trump himself.
