The Trump administration recently made headlines by firing a small number of US attorneys appointed during the Biden administration who had chosen to remain in their positions. This decision was confirmed through an email from the Executive Office of US Attorneys, which informed the affected individuals about the termination of their service.
While most Biden-appointed US attorneys had already resigned at the end of the previous administration, a few had opted to continue their roles. The exact number of individuals impacted by these terminations remains unclear, but it is worth noting that the turnover of politically appointed top prosecutors in 93 districts across the country is a customary practice during a transition of power.
