Donald Trump nominated people for both of these positions after interviewing them and vetting them.

And he not only nominated them, but he even appointed them to be interim U.S.

attorneys.

You and I are talking about the Eastern District tonight.

He also fired the U.S.

attorney in the Western District.

Virginia, get this, a former Republican state legislator and prosecutor who became the Republican speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, a pro-Trump Republican.

But Donald Trump and the DOJ tried to push him around to demote people in the office who had served under multiple presidents.

And he said, I'm not doing it.

So he's out the door, even though Trump nominated him and appointed him to be the interim.

Eric Siebert is out the door.
