Trump fires US federal prosecutors involved in probes for his behavior | Donald Trump News

The administration of the United States President Donald Trump has fired more than a dozen prosecutors related to the investigation and prosecution of the Republican leader while he was out of office.

The termination of Monday is in force immediately and applies to officers at the Ministry of Justice, according to anonymous sources in the Trump government.

An officer told the Reuters News Agency that the post -Attorney General James Mackenry, appointed to Trump, has determined that prosecutors “cannot be believed to be the true execution of the president's agenda because of their significant role in the pursuit of the president.” S

This move emphasized Trump's threats to seek retribution against those who have considered his behavior – and he noted a break with long -standing norms that government officials should not be punished for the performance of tasks under the previous administration.

Trump took office on January 20 for a second term As a president, having previously served from 2017 to 2021.

Those affected by the dismissal on Monday included prosecutors who worked with former special lawyer Jack Smith, who conducts two studies in Trump before withdrawing.

One focuses on Trump's retention of hundreds classified documents In his private residence, despite a summons in 2022 for their return.

The other has entered his behavior before, during and after the 2020 presidential election, which He lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump was accused of striving undermine the election resultswhich he is falsely claimed to have been darkened by widespread fraud with voters.

Both investigations led to federal criminal charges: the first in Florida and the second in Washington, County ColombiaS

Trump was the first president of the United States, passing or present, faced with criminal charges. In addition to the federal cases, he was also charged with two indictments at the state level.

One, in Georgiaalso refers to Trump's alleged efforts to cancel the 2020 election. The other, in New YorkAn accused Trump of falsifying business documents to cover up the hash-hostel payment of a movie actress for adults during his successful presidential campaign in 2016.

In this case, Trump was guilty 34 of crimes, although he was convicted of “disposal” – where he was released without punishment.

Trump has denied misconduct in all four cases and accused prosecutors of leading a politically motivated “witch hunt”.

While state -level cases were persecuted by local district lawyers, federal cases were monitored by the Ministry of Justice of the Biden Administration.

But to maintain the independence of investigations, Then General Annni Merrick Garland Appoint a special lawyer who was not politically appointed to manage the surveys: Jack SmithWho had previously pursued war crimes in The Hague.

None of Smith against Trump has come to court. After Trump was re -elected in November 2024, Smith dropped Both cases, referring to the long -standing policy of the Ministry of Justice, not to pursue the presidents of the meetings. He too retreat as a special advice.

Smith, however, did it, Release a report Around one of the two accusations, emphasizing the power of the prosecution's case.

“But for the elections of G -N Trump and the forthcoming return to the Presidency, the service has evaluated that the acceptable evidence is sufficient to receive and maintain a sentence in the process,” the report said.

Ever since he took office on January 20, Trump has led the cleansing of federal government services.

On January 24, for example, news reports revealed that he had fired a dozen general inspectors: employees accused of guards over key government agencies.

Some experts say that their terminations have violated the federal law, requiring a preliminary notice of 30 days to remove the Inspector General – and a clear justification for the shooting.

On the day of his inauguration, Trump annoys the widespread rejection of the “bureaucrats of Biden” at a rally With its supporters at Arena Capital One in Washington, Colombia.

“Most of these bureaucrats are fired. They are gone. They must be all of them, but some sneak, ”he said.

In a statement on Monday to the Associated Press, an anonymous Trump employee sounded the President's speaking points in discussing prosecutors' dismissal: “This action is in line with the Government's weapons mission.”
