A freshly-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York was abruptly fired by the Trump administration on Wednesday evening, just hours after accepting the post from a panel of federal judges.
Donald Kinsella, a veteran prosecutor, had been sworn in by Chief Judge Brenda K Sannes in a private virtual ceremony earlier in the day, only to then receive an email from Morgan Dewitt, a special assistant in the White House personnel office, advising him he was being removed, according to The Albany Times Union.
