Claiming that the Department of Justice has been politicized over the last four years, President Donald Trump has ordered the demise of all remaining US attorneys chosen by his predecessor Joe Biden. Trump said that America’s Golden Age needs a just justice system and underlined the need to “clean house” and rebuild trust. Since Trump assumed office, the Justice Department has seen a massive overhaul, with senior officials being let go, demoted, or relocated. Following Trump’s election victory, several of Biden’s nominated US attorneys quit, while others were demoted, transferred, or dismissed. With the resignation of the acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York and members of the office of special counsel Jack Smith, the Justice Department has come under fire for allegedly unfairly pursuing Trump.
