U.S. Attorney Resignations Amid Trump Pressure Regarding Investigations

Several U.S. attorneys have resigned amid intense pressure from former President Trump, particularly concerning investigations into New York Attorney General Letitia James. Reports indicate that Trump sought the ousting of prosecutors who were resistant to pressing charges against James, claiming a lack of evidence for alleged misconduct. Among the resignations, Erik Siebert, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, stepped down after Trump expressed his desire for his removal. This situation has sparked controversy, with officials criticizing the political motivations behind the resignations, highlighting concerns about the integrity of the judicial process.
