Attorney General Jeff Sessions Asks Remaining 46 Presidential Appointees for Resignations

Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks at the Justice Department in Washington, March 2, 2017.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has formally asked for the resignations of the 46 remaining presidential appointees at the Department of Justice (DoJ), PPD has confirmed.

The department described the decision as a “uniform transition” and noted how many appointees had already left, as was the case with previous administrations.

“the Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignations,” a spokeswoman said. “Until the new U.S. Attorneys are confirmed, the dedicated career prosecutors in our U.S. Attorney’s Offices will continue the great work of the Department in investigating, prosecuting, and deterring the most violent offenders.”

UPDATE: Worth noting, Big Media is painting this decision as a purge. In truth, Bill Clinton not only fired all political appointees at the Justice Department in his first week but he fired them all on the same day.
