President Donald Trump announced Tuesday night he had ordered every single “Biden era” U.S. Attorney to be fired “IMMEDIATELY” as he accused his predecessor of politicizing the Department of Justice.

Just after 6 p.m. ET and after his South Florida press conference, Trump said prosecutors will be dismissed so he can usher in a “fair justice system.” Trump wrote:

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. We must “clean house” IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System – THAT BEGINS TODAY!

The announcement came just seconds after Trump blasted the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Trump wrote, “Biden gave Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney a Medal for the job they did on the Unselect Committee, but the only thing that I see they did is get information, and then destroy and delete ALL of it, because the whole thing turned out to be a HOAX!”

Trump spent the 2024 campaign accusing former President Joe Biden of weaponizing the justice system against him. Before his election win, Trump was indicted in two federal cases – one relating to the events leading up to Jan. 6 and another over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House.

The president and his allies said those cases and two state criminal cases in Georgia and New York were an example of “lawfare.”

Trump’s Tuesday announcement came as his own DOJ navigated mass resignations after a federal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams was ordered dropped.

That order came after Adams agreed to work with the Trump administration on illegal immigration. Charges against Adams were dropped without prejudice, meaning the case could be revived.
