Trump Terminates Biden-Era US Attorneys in DOJ Overhaul

The president stated that the move was necessary to restore a โ€˜fair justice systemโ€™ in the country.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to terminate all U.S. attorneys appointed during the former Biden administration.

Trump stated that the move was necessary to restore a โ€œfair justice systemโ€ in the country.

โ€œOver the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before,โ€ Trump stated on the Truth Social platform.

โ€œTherefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining โ€˜Biden Eraโ€™ U.S. Attorneys. We must โ€œclean houseโ€ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence,โ€ he said. โ€œAmericaโ€™s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System – THAT BEGINS TODAY!โ€

It is common for U.S. attorneys to resign when there is a change in administration. However, department lawyers said the incoming administration would typically request their resignations rather than issuing termination letters.

The Epoch Times has reached out to the DOJ for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.

Trumpโ€™s statement comes a week after the White House had dispensed termination notices to numerous federal prosecutors appointed during the Biden era. A number of other U.S. attorneys have already announced their resignations.

Vow to End DOJ โ€˜Weaponizationโ€™

The termination of the U.S. attorneys, who serve as the top federal law enforcement officers in their districts, is the latest shake-up in the DOJ since Trump took office last month.

Trump had campaigned on a vow to end the โ€œweaponizationโ€ at the DOJ that he says was used against him during his years out of power.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo on Feb. 5 allowing the firing of DOJ lawyers who refuse orders to advance legal arguments on behalf of the Trump administration.

The memo states that โ€œany attorney who because of their personal political views or judgments declines to sign a brief or appear in court, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Departmentโ€™s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination, consistent with applicable law.โ€
