Trump fires U.S. attorney less than an hour after he was sworn in

In a surprising move, President Donald Trump dismissed a federal prosecutor in Seattle just an hour after he took his oath of office. The attorney had been appointed by a panel of judges, but Trump evidently decided to make a swift change. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary, raising questions about the independence of federal prosecutors and the potential for political interference in judicial appointments. It underscores the broader debate about the checks and balances within the U.S. government.
