Trump admin fired top VA prosecutor for refusing to pursue Comey case after judge voided leadership.
Robert McBride, second-in-command at the Eastern District of Virginia’s U.S. Attorney’s office, was fired by the Trump administration after declining to lead a prosecution against former FBI Director James Comey.
The move follows a federal judge’s November ruling that the office’s head, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed, invalidating her authority and leading to the dismissal of criminal cases against Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
McBride, a former personal lawyer for President Trump, reportedly clashed with Justice Department leadership over his efforts to privately meet with judges and seek the top prosecutor role.
The Justice Department has not commented, but officials reportedly backed the firing.
The situation has intensified scrutiny over political influence in federal prosecutions.
