Sources tell AP that the Justice Department has terminated a key prosecutor in an elite office plagued by turmoil
The Justice Department fired a top national security prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia after criticism from a right-wing commentator. Michael Ben’Ary was terminated due to his work during the Biden administration, sparking concerns over political influence and the erosion of civil service protections. This comes after the recent ousting of senior attorneys in the office, including Maya Song, who was fired after pressure to bring charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James. The department’s turmoil also includes the indictment of FBI Director James Comey, accused of lying to Congress. The situation raises questions about the independence of the justice system.
