Donald Trump continues to get rid of potential opponents.
Several U.S. attorneys in federal court districts were fired Wednesday night “at the direction of the President of the United States.”
At least two court-appointed U.S. attorneys were forced out. One of those included a career federal prosecutor who had worked on January 6 cases, reported NBC News Thursday.
The White House–instructed layoff came as a surprise to the Justice Department, which has historically been the entity to request resignations from politically appointed attorneys.
A Justice Department spokesman could not answer how many of the nation’s 93 U.S. attorneys were impacted, according to NBC.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California Tara McGrath was informed that she would no longer serve as the chief federal law enforcement official for San Diego in a “communication from the White House,” according to a press release from McGrath’s office that noted First Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew R. Haden would take her place, effective immediately.
U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington Tessa Gorman was also “removed from her post,” a spokesperson for the office told NBC.
U.S. Attorney for Maryland Erek L. Barron and U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Dena J. King announced their departures Wednesday as well, though they did not specify if they had been similarly forced out by the Trump administration.
An unidentified source familiar with the matter told NBC that the notices had been issued by Trent Morse, the deputy director of the Office of Presidential Personnel. The letters read: “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.”
The unprecedented dismissals come at a time when Trump’s pick to run the FBI, Kash Patel, has been accused of lying to Congress about directing a “purge” of the bureau while still a private citizen.
Gutting America’s prosecutorial abilities is apparently a top priority for the convicted felon in chief’s second term. Last month, Trump’s team ransacked FBI leadership, firing the top five career positions at the bureau, according to The Hill. The administration also conducted a mass firing of more than a dozen career prosecutors who had worked directly with former special counsel Jack Smith as he developed two cases against Trump: one into Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents after he left the White House in 2021, and another into Trump’s involvement in the January 6 riots.
The matter boiled down to “trust” for the incoming administration, which claimed that the prosecutors had weaponized the government against the MAGA leader and had no place in his administration.

The Ouster Of Bharara Will Haunt Trump – He Just Doesn’t Know It Yet (VIDEO)
Burning bridges and making enemies isn’t exactly a new behavior for President Donald Trump. He was, after all, a businessman. But he’s a got a new job now, and the enemies that he is making are much more powerful than before. Take ousted U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, for example.
It is not uncommon for a new administration to replace some or all of the United States attorneys when they take…

The defendants, smelling a rat about the redactions, nevertheless persisted in asking for the transcripts. And after the government expressed a willingness to do so, Judge Perry got the full versions earlier this week. She almost immediately ordered every AUSA involved in redacting the transcripts to show up to a hearing yesterday.
Marcy Wheeler at Emptywheel. How the Broadview 6 (-2) Case Collapsed
How the case collapse is really important. The Guardian's report on the news, All charges against Chicago protesters dropped in latest ICE case to unravel, contains many relevant events. And frustrating "both siderism." On one hand the judge says "trust has been broken." On the other hand a long exposition of the prosecution's allegations which will never be tested in trial.
If you do Bluesky, Ken White, a First Amendment litigator and former federal prosecutor, got the transcripts and did a thread of commentary on them last night.
The erosion of trust is serious news.
Update: Emptywheel category, Weaponized DOJ archive is vast.
