"HERE WE GO AGAIN" --TRUMP FIRES JUDGE-PICKED US ATTORNEY AS TOP DOJ OFFICIALS WARNS COURTS TO STAY IN THEIR LANE

Trump fires judge-picked US attorney as top DOJ official warns courts to stay in their lane

By Latest & Breaking News on Fox News--Feb 23, 2026 | 11:42 AM

The Justice Department announced Friday the firing of a second court-appointed U.S. attorney in as many weeks, revealing the swift removal of another prosecutor selected by federal judges to lead a district.

The judges in the Eastern District of Virginia had chosen veteran lawyer James Hundley to fill the vacancy left by Trump-appointee Lindsey Halligan, who stepped down from the role last month after the court said she was illegitimately serving. A top DOJ official quickly announced Hundley’s termination on social media, intensifying the ongoing fight between the executive and judicial branches over who has authority to choose the top prosecutors in each of the 93 federal court districts.

“Here we go again. EDVA judges do not pick our US Attorney. POTUS does. James Hundley, you’re fired!” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote on X.   Trump fires judge-picked US attorney as top DOJ official warns courts to stay in their lane | 930 WFMD Free Talk
