Trump Fires Prosecutor Investigating Donor
Los Angeles-based prosecutor Adam Schleifer was abruptly fired via email from a White House account, reportedly at President Trump’s instruction. The dismissal, allegedly unrelated to Schleifer’s superior, followed an indictment Schleifer helped secure against a major Trump donor, Andrew Wiederhorn. Schleifer’s termination is part of a broader Trump administration purge of federal prosecutors deemed politically disloyal, and follows public criticisms of the President by Schleifer. This action aligns with Trump’s stated goal of removing “Biden-era” appointees and restoring confidence in the justice system.
