The Trump administration fired two federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia after they voiced opposition to the criminal case against New York Attorney General Letitia James. That’s according to CBS News, which reports the firings of assistant U.S. attorneys Kristin Bird and Elizabeth Yusi continue an ongoing purge in the office, after Trump forced out his hand-picked interim U.S. attorney, Erik Siebert, for refusing to bring charges against James and former FBI Director James Comey. Trump replaced Siebert with his personal attorney, Lindsey Halligan, an insurance lawyer with no prosecutorial experience.

On Monday, lawyers for James Comey asked a federal judge to throw out criminal charges against him, arguing Halligan was unlawfully installed as U.S. attorney, a position that requires Senate confirmation. They also argued Trump’s repeated public statements calling for Comey to be jailed show Comey was the victim of a selective prosecution.
