Trump Administration Dismisses Virginia Prosecutor Hours After Appointment

The Trump administration has controversially fired James W Hundley, who was appointed as the interim US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia by a panel of judges. The decision came just a few hours after his unanimous appointment, highlighting the administration's assertion of the authority of the President and the Attorney General over judicial appointments. The firing follows the resignation of Erik Siebert, who left under pressure from President Trump after failing to pursue charges against a political adversary. The situation has sparked criticism over the integrity of justice appointments.
