Trump Urges Bondi to Prosecute His Political Rivals as U.S. Attorney Resigns Resigns Under Pressure

HeadlineSep 22, 2025

President Trump has publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute three prominent rivals: former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “We can’t delay any longer.”

In related news, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, resigned on Friday under pressure from Trump, who publicly criticized Siebert for not bringing criminal charges against Letitia James. Trump said he plans to replace Siebert with Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide who once worked as part of Trump’s personal legal team. Most recently, Halligan has been leading the administration’s efforts to remove what Trump has called “improper ideology” at the Smithsonian museums.
