President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he has instructed the Justice Department to dismiss all remaining U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Joe Biden. He characterized this move as necessary to address what he called the “politicization” of the department during Biden's presidency. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “We must clean house IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America's Golden Age must have a fair Justice System - THAT BEGINS TODAY!”

This announcement comes shortly after the White House issued termination notices to multiple Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys across the nation. Reports indicate that several U.S. attorneys announced their resignations last week, while others had already stepped down prior to Trump’s directive. Although it is customary for U.S. attorneys to resign following a new administration's rise to power, such dismissals typically occur through requests for resignation rather than abrupt termination letters, as noted by current and former Justice Department officials in a report by Reuters.

The impact of these dismissals marks a significant transformation at the Justice Department, especially given that longstanding career officials usually remain in their roles throughout administrations. However, since Trump’s recent inauguration, numerous officials in locations including New York and Washington have either been fired or have left their positions. Trump reaffirms his campaign promise to eradicate what he labels the “weaponization” of the Justice Department, asserting it was directed against him in previous years.
