Overview

• In a Truth Social post, President Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to bring charges against Adam Schiff, James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
• Trump claimed he “fired” Eastern District of Virginia U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert and said he will nominate Lindsey Halligan to the post.
• Siebert had announced he would step down after pressure over the James probe, and Mary “Maggie” Cleary is serving as the acting top federal prosecutor.
• CNN reporting says DOJ prosecutors in Virginia concluded they did not have enough evidence to indict Letitia James on mortgage fraud.
• Legal commentators and former prosecutors condemned Trump's public directive as improper and potentially impeachable, warning it undermines DOJ independence.
