President Trump is reportedly firing U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert for the Eastern District of Virginia after Siebert's office found no evidence of mortgage fraud against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a political rival of Trump. Trump officials pressured Siebert to bring charges against James despite the lack of evidence. Siebert's dismissal raises concerns about Trump's alleged misuse of the Department of Justice for political retribution, impacting a crucial office handling terrorism and espionage cases. Siebert's last day is expected to be Friday.
