Trump says he has instructed DOJ to terminate all remaining Biden-era US attorneys

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he has instructed the Justice Department to terminate all remaining Biden-era U.S. attorneys, asserting that the department had been "politicized like never before,” Reuters reports.

"We must 'clean house' IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System - THAT BEGINS TODAY," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Last week, the White House sent termination notices to several U.S. Attorneys around the country who had been appointed by Democratic former President Joe Biden.

On Monday, several U.S. attorneys appointed by Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden announced they were stepping down. Others left the government last week.
