White House Fires Judge-Picked US Attorney Replacing Trump Loyalist

White House Fires Judge-Picked US Attorney Replacing Trump Loyalist
Federal judges in New York's Northern District swear in veteran prosecutor Donald T. Kinsella to replace acting US Attorney John Sarcone, a Trump ally ruled unlawfully serving beyond his term, but Deputy AG Todd Blanche fires him within hours via X, citing Article II and presidential authority. This bold stand pushes back against judicial overreach trying to dictate executive appointments, especially after an Obama-appointed judge blocked Sarcone from probing Democrat AG Letitia James.
