Trump Makes New Hire For Letitia James
President Donald Trump has made a bold move to restore law and order, nominating trusted aide and attorney Lindsey Halligan as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. This announcement comes just one day after Trump ousted Erik Siebert, a prosecutor he blasted as a “woke RINO,” for refusing to take action against Democrat corruption.
Trump Praises Halligan as Fearless Defender of Justice
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, highlighting Halligan’s years of loyalty and her fearless fight against what he calls the weaponized Biden Justice Department.
“Lindsey is tough, smart, and loyal,” Trump wrote. “She fought alongside me as we battled the Radical Left Democrats and witnessed firsthand the unconstitutional, un-American raid on my home at Mar-a-Lago. She has the strength and determination to be absolutely OUTSTANDING in this new and very important role.”
Halligan has been a key figure on Trump’s legal team, playing a central role in defending him during the classified documents witch hunt. She currently serves as Special Assistant to the President and has been deeply involved in shaping Trump’s legal strategy to protect America’s freedoms.
“Congratulations, Lindsey — you will do GREAT things for Justice, Virginia, and our Country!” Trump added.
Why Trump Fired Siebert
The shake-up was triggered by Trump’s growing frustration with outgoing U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who refused to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) for serious allegations of mortgage fraud.
According to The New York Times, Siebert claimed there was “insufficient evidence” to pursue charges against James — a response that infuriated Trump.
Trump clarified on Truth Social that Siebert’s departure was not voluntary:
“I FIRED him. He didn’t quit. We don’t need weak, compromised prosecutors protecting corrupt Democrats.”
Trump Demands Accountability From DOJ
Later on Saturday, Trump issued a fiery statement urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to take immediate action against corrupt officials like James.
“They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is being done,” Trump wrote. “We can’t delay any longer — it’s destroying our reputation and credibility.”
This move signals a major escalation in Trump’s efforts to drain the swamp and hold the Radical Left accountable for their abuse of power.
Why This Matters for Conservatives
The Eastern District of Virginia is one of the most powerful federal prosecutor’s offices in the nation, overseeing cases involving national security, government corruption, and financial crimes. By placing Halligan in charge, Trump is ensuring that law enforcement is used to defend the American people — not to attack them.
This decision also sends a clear message to the Washington establishment:
The days of corrupt officials protecting Radical Left operatives are over.
Bottom Line
President Trump’s nomination of Lindsey Halligan marks a turning point in the fight to restore justice. With a fearless and loyal prosecutor leading the charge, conservatives can expect aggressive action against corruption at every level of government.
Trump’s move to fire a weak, establishment-backed prosecutor and replace him with a proven fighter shows his commitment to defending America, protecting freedom, and holding the Radical Left accountable.
