Trump Dismisses All Biden-Era U.S. Attorneys Amid DOJ Overhaul

Former President Donald Trump announced a sweeping overhaul of the Department of Justice, ordering the dismissal of all federal prosecutors appointed during Joe Biden's administration. Trump criticized the DOJ as having been 'politicized like never before' and emphasized the need to 'clean house' to restore public trust in the judicial system. The directive affects the 93 U.S. attorneys across the country, with the announcement coming shortly after multiple terminations and resignations of senior federal prosecutors. This move is part of Trump's larger strategy to reshape the DOJ, amid allegations of targeted legal actions against him during his first term. Critics have noted that while changes in U.S. attorneys are common with a new administration, the scale and nature of this dismissal are unprecedented. The ongoing restructuring is seen as a continuation of Trump's contentious relationship with the DOJ, which he has accused of bias against him.
