President Donald Trump’s White House has fired multiple U.S. Attorneys appointed by former President Joe Biden, a move that deviates from the usual practice of requesting resignations. These terminations, carried out abruptly via email, have raised concerns among legal experts due to the potential disruptions in federal cases. The dismissals, affecting prosecutors from Seattle to Maryland, have led to resignations or forced departures from key positions,

While it is common for a new president to replace U.S. Attorneys, this sudden action without prior consultation or transition planning is unusual. These prosecutors oversee major criminal and civil cases, and the abrupt vacancies may delay ongoing investigations. Among those dismissed were U.S. Attorneys Tara McGrath, Erek Barron, Ismail Ramsey, Tessa Gorman, and Dena King, all of whom confirmed their departures after receiving termination notices. The White House has not officially commented on the scope or reasons for the firings.
