URGENT: Trump Forces Resignation of US Attorney Amid Pressure to Indict NY AG Letitia James

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Forces Resignation of US Attorney Amid Pressure to Indict NY AG Letitia James A federal prosecutor in Virginia has resigned under pressure from the Trump administration, following a monthslong mortgage fraud investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James that failed to result in criminal charges. Erik Siebert, the interim U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, submitted his resignation on Friday, effective immediately. The move comes after President Trump publicly expressed his desire to see Siebert "out" due to the lack of progress in the investigation into James. The investigation, which began several months ago, has not yielded any criminal charges against James, who is a frequent target of criticism from the Trump administration. The probe was launched amid allegations that James had engaged in mortgage fraud while serving as an executive at a real estate company. Siebert's resignation marks a significant development in the ongoing saga between the Trump administration and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The move has sparked concerns about potential interference with the investigation and the impact on the independence of the Justice Department.
