In a significant shake-up within the Justice Department, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Virginia has been dismissed after refusing to lead the prosecution against former FBI Director James Comey. This firing, which comes as part of ongoing turmoil in the Eastern District of Virginia, has raised questions regarding the integrity and motivations behind the recent actions of the Trump administration. Sources indicate that the administration has been exerting pressure to reopen the investigation into Comey, prompting this latest round of dismissals, including that of the No. 2 federal prosecutor in the district. Critics are now expressing concerns that these firings reflect a broader pattern of political influence within the DOJ.
