President Trump's second term has seen rapid and drastic changes across federal agencies, with over 240 employees fired or reassigned, including a significant number of inspectors general. These actions have raised alarms among Democrats, who characterize the firings as a 'chilling purge.' Critics argue that this threatens oversight and accountability within the federal government. Trump defended the removals by insisting that placing 'good people' in these positions was necessary. Additionally, the Justice Department has dismissed career prosecutors involved in cases against Trump, revealing tensions in legal processes.
Changeover among federal government agencies is common, but Trump’s recent firings of career employees and various other measures mark a significant shift in administrative practices.
The Justice Department has not only dismissed politically appointed U.S. attorneys but has also fired career prosecutors involved in Trump-related investigations, prompting concerns over judicial independence.
