Trump personally ordered witnesses of special prosecutor’s attorney | Trump Administration

The US Ministry of Justice dismissed more than a dozen prosecutors who had worked on Donald Trump for hours on the criminal matters after the President had ordered them directly from the Oval Office, two people familiar with the intervention.

The move, people who worked for the former special consultant, worked Jack Smith allegedly came from the incumbent Attorney General James Mchenry, who sent the formal dismissal, according to which they could not trust to implement Trump’s agenda.

But the emergence for the shots was Trump himself, said the people in a demonstration of Trump’s unchecked, when he introduced into a new chapter for the Ministry of Justice in which she is directly responsible for the White House, an empire in which past presidents have hesitated.

The final goal of Trump’s team is that the President has a Ministry of Justice available that plays a leading role in enforcing his wishes and his offer under its version of a uniform executive in which the president heads every agency.

Trump’s intervention to eliminate the prosecutors in Smith’s office was made by some of his advisors as the beginning of their efforts to make the practice of making general attorney control with the west wing in order to enforce and enact their political agenda.

The White House did not respond to a request for comments.

After Trump had instructed his advisors to say goodbye to the public prosecutor, the presidential staff of the White House, led by long -time Trump -allied Sergio Gor, published a memo that the Ministry of Justice proves, and the move to a certain level of legal Cover.

The memo was then sent to the Attorney General of the General Prosecutor, who published the actual notice of termination to those who were still in the department. The exact number is unclear because the department has not published any names, but the test team consisted of at least 18 lawyers.

The Ministry of Justice passed the Seismian change from Trump’s second term in the first few days, whereby the best officials were downgraded from the deputy general prosecutor and were displaced into key components, including the departments of criminal, civil and national security, from top positions.

As soon as the wider cleansing has been completed, the expectation that lawyers who are loyal to Trump will be used in the vacancies. They could serve for years, set the department their own stamps and change their future legal ideology in order to get in line with Trump’s agenda.

The changes in personnel came in waves: Firstly, it was the head of the National Security Division and the Department of Public Integrity, which Trump was responsible for having pushed criminal matters into his abuse of classified documents and efforts to overthrow the election results in 2020 .

The next step was the career lawyers in the deputy general prosecutor’s office, including the most important apolitical official Brad Weinsheimer, who was made by Trump’s first attorney in General Jeff Sessions until he was permanently made by Trump’s last attorney in General.

But Weinsheimer had the misfortune, one of two people with whom Trump’s lawyers met in 2023 when they tried to get a meeting with the then General Prosecutor Merrick Garland in order to ward off an indictment in the classified documents.

The Trump White House then sent the memo a particularly aggressive step to relieve remaining members of Smith’s team on Monday, since they too were professional prosecutors who theoretically had the protection of the public service against political reasons.

In the coming weeks, in a further case of the White House, the parts of the Ministry of Justice will direct, the released special lawyers will be exposed to a blue examination in a politically accused investigation.

Trump signed an executive order last week who commissioned the Attorney General to create a report on “Weapons of the Federal Government”, which almost comprises the special consulting cases and can present the findings to the deputy chief of staff for politics for politics on the white .
