Overview

• President Donald Trump publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to move immediately on cases targeting James Comey, Adam Schiff and Letitia James, saying delays were damaging the department’s credibility.
• Acting U.S. attorney Erik S. Siebert in the Eastern District of Virginia resigned after Trump demanded his removal, while the president asserted he had fired him.
• Siebert had told the Justice Department he lacked sufficient evidence to charge Letitia James in an alleged mortgage‑fraud matter, and Trump announced White House adviser Lindsey Halligan as his choice to fill the Virginia post.
• Allied claims from Housing Finance Agency head Bill Pulte accusing Schiff and James of falsifying mortgage‑related documents were amplified by Trump, though the Justice Department has not announced prosecutions.
• Reporting also describes heightened pressure on Maryland U.S. attorney Kelly O. Hayes, who authorized a search at John Bolton’s home and has indicated she will not bring a case against Schiff without supporting evidence.
