flag U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned after Trump planned to fire him for refusing to charge NY AG Letitia James in a mortgage fraud probe.

flag U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned as interim U.S. Attorney for Virginia’s Eastern District amid reports that President Donald Trump planned to fire him for refusing to pursue charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James in a mortgage fraud investigation. flag The probe centered on documents related to a 2023 Virginia home purchase and James’s New York City property, with federal officials alleging misrepresentations. flag James’s attorney disputed the claims, citing evidence that contradicted the allegations and arguing the investigation was politically motivated, especially given James’s legal actions against Trump. flag Siebert, who had served in the office for over ten years, stepped down after being informed of the president’s intent to remove him, leaving the office without a leader. flag The Justice Department has not confirmed any charges, and the situation has raised concerns about political influence in federal prosecutions.
