In a significant and controversial move, the White House has abruptly fired numerous career prosecutors within the Justice Department, marking a departure from established norms. This shakeup reportedly includes the dismissal of around 50 attorneys and deputies, a step described by critics as an escalation in the politicization of federal law enforcement. Notably, the White House is directly implicated in the firings, including notable cases such as the prosecutor handling an investigation involving a Trump donor. These actions have sparked widespread concerns about the independence of the Justice Department and the future of legal investigations involving political figures.
