Trump administration sacks lawyers who investigated him

United States President, Donald Trump’s administration has fired more than a dozen justice department lawyers who worked on two criminal cases against him with effective immediately.
The lawyers, who were part of former special counsel Jack Smith’s team investigating Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and attempt to overturn his 2020 election defeat, were fired by Acting Attorney General James McHenry due to their role in prosecuting the president, according to a department official.
Mr Smith was named special counsel in 2022 to supervise two Justice Department investigations investigating Trump. The president had promised to terminate him “within two seconds” of assuming office, but he resigned before being inaugurated.
Both incidents led in criminal accusations against Trump, who has pleaded not guilty.
However, the lawsuits were closed following his November election victory. Prosecutors stated that Justice Department procedures prohibit the prosecution of a sitting president.
