"Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys"
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday night that all U.S. attorneys appointed during the Biden administration will be removed in an effort to "restore confidence" in the Department of Justice.
"Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System - THAT BEGINS TODAY!"
The decision is part of a broader effort by Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to overhaul the DOJ, which they claim has been "weaponized" against American citizens and used to target political opponents. The administration insists that removing Biden-era appointees is a necessary step toward depoliticizing federal law enforcement.
It is common for U.S. attorneys to be replaced when a new administration takes office, especially when the party in power changes. However, Trump's move is notable for its sweeping scope and immediate execution.
Some Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys had already resigned before Trump was sworn in for his second term, while others were recently notified of their terminations.
Tara K. McGrath, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California since October 2023, was among those recently dismissed.
The White House reportedly informed her last week that she would be removed from her post, while others, such as Jill Steinberg of the Southern District of Georgia, resigned before Trump had the chance to fire them.
The shake-up at the DOJ coincides with the Senate's ongoing confirmation process for Trump's FBI director nominee, Kash Patel, who has also vowed major reforms.
