The US Department of Justice (DoJ) on Tuesday announced that it will replace attorneys appointed in former President Donald Trump's administration. 

According to the report, DoJ is beginning the process of replacing attorneys appointed in Trump's administration as current President Joe Biden looks to appoint his own picks as federal prosecutors. According to The Hill, the federal process is anticipated to impact 56 out of 93 US attorneys across the country.  These attorneys  will be given weeks to finish up their work, while the rest are career prosecutors who are already in their jobs on an acting basis on interim US attorneys.

US President Biden has not yet announced who will replace the federal prosecutors, but the jobs are considered top posts for rising attorneys, particularly those who are looking to later run for public office. Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson, Said, "We are committed to ensuring a seamless transition... Until US Attorney nominees are confirmed, the interim and acting leaders in the U.S. Attorneys' Offices will make sure that the department continues to accomplish its critical law enforcement mission, vigorously defend the rule of law and pursue the fair and impartial administration of justice for all."
